The Absorption of Water from the Isolated Small Intestine of the Rat

흰쥐의 적출소장을 통한 물의 흡수에 관한 연구

We measured the rate of water transfer across the isolated small intestine of the rat in Wiseman apparatus using tritiated water ($^3H_2O$) in drinking beverages such as electrolytes solution, fruit juice, carbonated water and barley water. Initial transfer rate of water using four beverages were determined: Electrolytes solution is the fastest and followed by barley water, carbonated water and fruit juice.
