Abstract
The effect of Hg2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ on the intestinal transport of D-glucose and L-tyrosine was studied in everted sacs of small intestine. Hg2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ (10(-5) and 10(-4)) singly or in combination inhibit the active transport of D-glucose (10 mM) and L-tyrosine (2 mM) in rat and pigeon small intestine. The presence of other ions (Mg2+, Zn2+ and SeO3(2)) diminishes the toxic effect of heavy metal ions, rendering them less effective.Entities:
