The relative roles of diffusion and convection in the transport of plasma proteins across intestinal capillaries were estimated for absorbing and nonabsorbing segments of cat ileum. Diffusive, convective and net protein fluxes were estimated with steady-state lymph and plasma protein concentrations, lymph flow, net transmucosal volume flow and phenomenological transport equations. Convection evidently accounts for .apprx. 80-90% of total net transcapillary solute movement at normal and increased capillary filtration rates. When the intestinal capillaries are converted from filtering to absorbing vessels by enhancing transmucosal water movement, the convective and diffusive protein fluxes occur in opposite directions, i.e., significant quantities of plasma proteins move from interstitium to blood by convection. The magnitude of the capillary protein leakage during absorption is probably far greater than predicted using lymphatic protein flux changes. The massive movement of plasma proteins into and out of the mucosal interstitium during absorption may be advantageous for the removal of protein-bound nutrients (e.g., fatty acids).
