Popis: 1. 1. Using the mouse entire small intestine, in vitro absorption of D-glucose apparently decreased after 7 days following a single, oral dose (5 mg kg bodyweight) of technical pentachlorophenol (WP) but not purified pentachlorophenol (WN). Tissue solute accumulation fell slightly. The effects were related to both time and dosage. 2. 2. The absorption of d -galactose, l -arginine, and l -histidine, and solute tissue accumulation, remained unaltered using either WP or WN (5 mg kg bodyweight) compared with the untreated animals. 3. 3. Malabsorptive effects of d -glucose may have resulted from altered metabolism of the absorptive cells during the transfer process. 4. 4. Concomitant fluid transfer was unaffected using all solutes, as was the histology and fresh weight of the small intestine. 5. 5. These results are compared with similar investigations using various environmental pollutants and other work using technical and purified pentachlorophenol.
