Abstract
1. 1. Myo-inositol is transported in chicken small intestine by a mediated route with an apparent K m of 0.1 mM and by a diffusion mechanism. 2. 2. The mediated route is susceptible to inhibition by sugars, though sugars are not transported by this process, nor is myo-inositol transported by the sugar transport system. 3. 3. Myo-inositol influx is inhibitable by phlorizin, sulfhydryl reagents, removal of Na + from the incubation medium, and preloaded sugar; it can be stimulated by theophylline. 4. 4. The ability to absorb this nutrient varies greatly between individual animals.
