Abstract
SummaryThe capacity for intestinal absorption of glucose in heat and cold-acclimated desert woodrats was studied using an in vitro method. Cold-acclimation had no effect on intestinal serosal transfer, however, heat-acclimation increased the absorptive capacity of the intestine. The alterations in serosal transport of glucose by the intestine may represent a compensatory mechanism for decreased food intake during heat-acclimation.
