Intestinal glucose absorption in rats after secondary infections with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. 1980

A M Scofield

A challenge infection of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis in immune rats resulted in an earlier onset of intestinal glucose malabsorption and increased glucose metabolism compared with rats receiving a primary infection. Intestinal absorption and metabolism recovered to control levels earlier during a secondary infection. The pattern of changes in absorption and metabolism was probably related to host immunological activity.
