These are small, finger-like structures that increase the absorptive surface area of your small intestine. This allows for maximum absorption of amino acids and other nutrients.

TRANSPORT of sugars and amino-acids in the small intestine occurs by apparently similar Na+-activated mechanisms which are believed to involve reversible binding of substrate to specific membrane ...

They traced amino acid absorption in the small and large intestines. They found that in mice that were infected with ...

Biopharmaceuticals, medium- and high-molecular weight biologically active macromolecules, are not easily absorbed by the small intestine, the main organ responsible for gastrointestinal absorption ...

Mailliard ME, Stevens BR, Mann GE 1995 Amino acid transport by small intestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic epithelia. Gastroenterology 108 : 888–910 Article CAS Google Scholar ...

Proteins, peptides and amino acids are acted upon by enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, ... The small intestine is good for absorption since it has a large inner surface area.

However, studies of intestinal absorption of cystine and the mechanisms by which this amino acid appears in the urine in such marked excess in cystinuria have been far more difficult to interpret.

When Salmonella enters the small intestine, it causes inflammation in the gut lining and disrupts the normal absorption of amino acids from food. This creates an imbalance in nutrients in the gut.

They traced amino acid absorption in the small and large intestines. They found that in mice that were infected with Salmonella, there was less absorption of amino acids into the blood.

Previous investigation showed that ascorbic acid and certain sugars and amino acids chelate iron and enhance iron absorption. 7–9 Since these substances are commonplace constituents of the diet ...
