The absorption and secretion of ochratoxin A (OA) by the gastrointestinal tract was studied in the rat. When OA was introduced into the lumen at various sites of the gastrointestinal tract, the largest concentration of OA in portal blood was found after the toxin was injected into the lumen at the proximal jejunum. After injection of OA into a closed loop at the proximal jejunum, the rate of appearance of OA in the mesenteric venous plasma was higher than that in lymph. The rate of appearance in the venous plasma increased with an increased luminal concentration of OA; in the lymph the rate remained almost constant with respect to the luminal OA concentration. The site of maximal absorption was the proximal jejunum and the primary route of absorption was the portal vein although the contribution of the lymphatic route could not be excluded when low-dose levels of OA were given. When various parts of the gastrointestinal tract were perfused after i.v. injection of OA, noticeable amounts of the toxin appeared in the intestinal perfusate, suggesting that intestinal secretion may have been another route of excretion of OA. Comparison of intestinal secretion and absorption showed asymmetric transfer of OA across the intestinal mucosa, the lumen-to-blood transfer being greater than that in the opposite direction.
