Effect of decreased local circulation on the absorptive capacity of a small-intestine loop in the dog

Summary

The effect of local decrease of circulation (produced by arterial clamping) on the absorptive capacity of an isolated small-intestine loop in the dog was examined.

In the case of isotonic glucose solution, a certain degree of reduction of blood supply did not result in a proportionate impairment of the absorptive capacity, because of a compensatory increase of the arteriovenous oxygen difference. In the case of glycocoll, the function of the local compensating mechanism observed with glucose could not be found. The absorption of sorbose was not influenced by the change of blood supply; the authors suppose, therefore, that its absorption occurs mostly through passive resorption.
