The fate of ingested protein was re-investigated by Dent & Schilling in 1949, and they concluded that heterologous protein is absorbed almost entirely as free amino acids and that the concentration of the amino acids in the portal blood after eating casein is largely what one would expect from a knowledge of the amino acid content of that protein. Glutamic acid, however, is exceptional in that its concentration in the portal blood is much lower than would be expected in view of the high glutamic acid content of casein. In 1953 Wiseman investigated the ability of the isolated small intestine of the rat to transport various amino acids against a concentration gradient, and found that although the L-forms of alanine, phenylalanine, methionine, histidine and isoleucine are absorbed against a concentration gradient, those of glutamic and aspartic acids are not. He also found that part of the glutamic and aspartic acids disappears from the experimental system as a whole. Matthews & Wiseman (1953), using an in vitro technique (Wiseman, 1953), then showed that when either glutamic acid or aspartic acid is introduced into the intestinal lumen, alanine appears in the fluid bathing the serosal surface of the intestine. They concluded that transamination occurs during the absorption of glutamic or aspartic acid and results in the appearance of alanine in the portal blood. The following experiments, investigating this process in vivo, confirm their hypothesis, and also give the quantitative relationship between these amino acids during absorption from the dog's small intestine.
