SummaryThe relative rates of absorption of 7 short chain fatty acids from jejunum and colon of man have been compared with their partition into chloroform from an aqueous solution. The longer the chain length the faster the acids were absorbed. This probably reflected their greater solubility in lipid as shown by their partition into chloroform.
Dawson et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
