Abstract

The general fluid circuit theory of active chloride absorption is applied to an experiment in which chloride, bromide, and deuterium oxide were simultaneously absorbed from the lower ileum, chloride only moving against a concentration gradient. The conclusion is reached that the constant for active absorption of deuterium oxide is equal, within reasonable limits of error, to the constant for active chloride absorption in accordance with the assumption that the absorption of water carries chloride out of the intestinal lumen without changing its concentration. © 1941 The University of Chicago Press.
