A few studies have shown a correlation between glucose and the colon’s microbiome, and animal studies have found that lipid absorption is manipulated by the small-intestine microbiota.

Vitamin B12 is crucial for red blood cell production, DNA synthesis, and neurological function. Its absorption, a complex ...

We have now investigated the absorption of some disaccharides by the small intestine of some Amphibia using a system for the perfusion of the mesenteric vascular bed.

The structure of the small intestine is specialised for rapid absorption of small soluble food molecules.

Malabsorption disrupts vitamin absorption, leading to deficiencies in essential nutrients like A, D, E, K, C, and B12, with significant health implications.

The apparatus used to model absorption in the small intestine can be set up like this. At regular intervals the liquid inside and outside of the Visking tubing is sampled and tested for starch ...

The inner lining of the small intestine nearly doubles in size during pregnancy and breastfeeding, according to new research in mice and human tissue.
