Effects of resection on absorption and secretion of divalent cations by small intestine of rat

Resection increases villus height and crypt depth of remaining intestine. We examined functional consequences of resection by measuring absorption of strontium and secretion of calcium and magnesium by proximal and distal segments remaining after resecting 70% of mid small intestine. Compared with the transected control group, resection decreased strontium absorption per unit weight of mucosa (specific absorption) in the proximal segment. The decreased specific absorption was compensated by increased mucosal growth in the resected group so that absorption per unit length of segment (per cm) was the same in both groups. Resection increased secretion of calcium and magnesium by 66% per unit weight of mucosa and by 145%/cm in the distal segment. Comparing proximal with distal segments in the resected group, secretion was greater in distal for calcium and in proximal for magnesium. Intestinal resection causes responses in absorption and secretion of divalent cations important in mineral homeostasis.
