Influence of the enteric surface coat on the unidirectional flux of acetamide across the wall of rat small intestine. 1983

G Esposito, and A Faelli, and M Tosco, and M N Orsenigo, and R De Gasperi, and N Pacces

In vivo treatment of the jejunal mucosa with glycosidic enzymes seems to remove the enteric surface coat of the enterocyte. As a consequence, the mucosa-to-serosa unidirectional flux of acetamide increases remarkably. The glycocalyx probably represents a barrier to the diffusion of small hydrosoluble solutes.
