Summary

The effect of ascorbic acid on the regulation of absorption of glycine was studied in experiments on 3 dogs with chronic fistulae of the intestine and colon. It was established that ascorbic acid, administered in definite doses, improved absorption of glycine in the intestine and of sodium chloride in the colon. 3∶2 and 2∶2 are the optimal ratios of glycine and sodium chloride to the vitamin. In the presence of the above ratio absorption of glycine in the intestines increases by 24–28%, while absorption of chlorides in the colon increases by 18%.
