Intestinal absorption of d-xylose (DX) and folic acid (PGA) were studied in patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) by perfusion before, during, and after moderate protein deficiency. The mean values of DX absorption did not change during the experiment, whereas PGA absorption decreased during protein depletion but returned to the base-line level after the animals were again fed a full protein diet. The diversity between DX and PGA absorption may be explained by the difference in the absorption mechanism of the two test substances.
