  • N.A., not available.

  • a Data displayed as mean values (n = 5 and n = 3 for Aeintestine and CLintestine).

  • b Data displayed for each animal (n = 2).

  • c These values were scaled by a factor of 50 to approximate the secretion into the entire small intestine from the 10-cm long jejunal segment (see Results).
