EFFECT OF BILE AND BILE SALTS ON ABSORPTION OF SODIUM OLEATE FROM JEJUNAL LOOPS OF DOGS

Abstract

Na oleate was introduced into jejunal loops of dogs alone or with gallbladder bile, Na taurocholate, Na glycocholate, or mixtures of Na taurocholate and Na glycocholate. When introduced alone Na oleate was absorbed to a considerable extent. Gall-bladder bile enhanced the absorption of Na oleate, while Na taurocholate and Na glycocholate separately or together failed to promote absorption of the oleate.
