Abstract
The absorption of dietary calcium (Ca) may in part be determined by the formation in the intestinal lumen of soluble Ca complexes and insoluble Ca salts. This study was undertaken to test the assumption that ionic Ca concentration (Ca2+) is the only species of Ca that is available for absorption. Bidirectional steady-state Ca fluxes were measured in vitro under short-circuit conditions across segments of the proximal duodenum and the cecum in the presence and absence of varying concentrations of soluble Ca citrate complexes. The presence of 5.0 mmol/L medium citrate reduced medium Ca2+ and cecal Ca mucosal-to-serosal fluxes (Jms) (29 ± 18 versus 108 ± 7 nmol Ca/cm2/h, P PKeywords
