Abstract
IT is well established that at least part of the glucose transfer mechanism in the intestinal epithelium lies close to the luminal border of the cell. As Rothstein1 has shown that uranyl ions exert a surface action in yeast cells in inhibiting hexose transfer, and Ponz2 and Ponz and Lluch3 have shown that they interfere with absorption of actively transported sugars, the effect of uranyl nitrate on hexose transfer in the rat small intestine was investigated.
