The subject matter of this thesis is concerned mainly with two aspects of intestinal absorbtion. The first problem deals with the transport of amino acids and amino acid mixtures across the intestinal wall. The second is devoted to the study of transport of simple sugar mixtures. It was thought that the subjects could be more easily reviewed if the literature pertaining to the two problems was reviewed separately. The term intestinal absorbtion implies the passage of substances from the lumen into the blood stream in the intact animal, or from the mucosal solution into the outer serosal solution in in vitro experiments with intestinal segments.
