Absorption of maltose as measured by portal catheterization
Dencker, H.; Johannesson, E.; Meeuwisse, G.; Norryd, C.; Tranberg, K.G., 1972: Absorption of maltose as measured by portal catheterization. Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology 7(8): 707-710
The absorption of a 6% solution of maltose, infused intraduodenally in 4 fasting patients free from disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, studied by portal catheterization and compared with that of an equal amount of glucose showed that maltose and free glucose were absorbed at similar rates.
