The 16 pages that link to Intestinal absorption, each with the reason it gives.

• Small intestineNarrower topic: This process is the small intestine’s central exchange with the rest of the body.

• MicronutrientRelated: Micronutrients must cross the intestinal barrier before most tissues can use them.

• LysineRelated: Dietary lysine enters circulation after absorption, mainly in the small intestine.

• ColonNarrower topic: The colon performs the final major absorption of water and electrolytes.

• ErythritolRelated: Most ingested erythritol enters the bloodstream from the small intestine rather than reaching the colon.

• RetinolRelated: Dietary retinol and retinyl esters must be absorbed with dietary fat.

• Osmotic diarrheaRelated: Impaired absorption leaves solutes behind to drive water retention.

• Sports drinkRelated: Sodium and glucose uptake can draw water across the intestinal lining.

• Hartnup diseaseRelated: Impaired absorption is one site of neutral amino acid loss in Hartnup disease.

• Pantothenic acidRelated: Dietary pantothenate is absorbed in the intestine before cells use it to make coenzymes.

• ParomomycinRelated: Poor oral absorption concentrates paromomycin in the intestinal lumen.

• SugarRelated: Transport proteins carry monosaccharides from the small intestine into circulation.

• AlluloseRelated: Much ingested allulose is absorbed, but absorption alone does not mean it supplies substantial energy.

• Gastrointestinal contentsRelated: It removes usable substances from the contents as they pass through the intestine.

• Magnesium citrateRelated: Absorption determines how much magnesium enters the body rather than remaining in the bowel.

• Transport (biology)Related: It relies on epithelial transport to deliver nutrients into blood and lymph.
