TABLE 1

Recovery percentage of PL and isovaleryl-PL at steady state in rat jejunal single-pass perfusion

The mucosal concentration of PL was 376 ± 15.0 nmol/g tissue under PL perfusion, and those of PL and isovaleryl-PL were 436 ± 89.2 and 97.7 ± 11.0 nmol/g tissue, respectively, under isovaleryl-PL perfusion. PL or isovaleryl-PL (300 μM) was perfused in the jejunal lumen at 0.3 ml/min. The flow rate of vascular perfusate was 2.8 ml/min. The samples of luminal and vascular perfusate were collected at 10- and 5-min intervals, respectively, for 60 min. Values represent mean ± S.D. (n = 3).

  • a Total recovery percentage represents the sum of recovery percentage of compounds in the mesenteric blood and intestinal fluid.

  • b Recovery percentage of PL and isovaleryl-PL in the mucosal tissue was determined after washing of compounds from the jejunal lumen.
