Intestinal absorption of ursodeoxycholic, glycoursodeoxycholic and tauroursodeoxycholic acids in rats
Abstract:
We examined the intestinal absorption of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDC), glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDC) and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDC) using an everted gut sac technique. UDC was absorbed throughout rat small intestine almost to the same extent. Absorption of both GUDC and TUDC, however, varied between jejunum and ileum. Absorption of these conjugated bile acids in the jejunal segments was less than that of UDC. While, absorption of GUDC and TUDC in the terminal ileum was more efficient than UDC. Although 2,4-dinitrophenol had no effect on the jejunal uptake, ileal uptake of these three bile acids was inhibited by 2,4-dinitrophenol.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...
Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
