Amino acid transport by small and large intestine of newborn pig

M W Smith et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Unidirectional fluxes of different amino acids have been determined across newborn pig small intestine and colon. The systems responsible for amino acid transport are present in the same proportion in both tissues. Colonic transport of amino acids appears to represent a transient overspill function of the small intestine.
