THE EFFECT OF IRRADIATING THE EXTERIORIZED SMALL BOWEL ON SUGAR ABSORPTION

Journal Article · · Am. J. Roentgenol. Radium Therapy Nuclear Medicine
OSTI ID:4325973
Irradiation of the exteriorized small bowel prolongs gastric emptying. It also decreases the rate of glucose and arabinose absorption from the small bowel but absorption of the glucose is influenced more severely. This suggests that phosphorylation is disturbed as well as the process of diffusion. However, the magnitude of the change in the absorption of both sugars suggests that a decrease in the rate of diffusion is the major factor. (auth)
