Until recently it was only possible to study th eabsorption of pyridoxine indirectly by measuring the urinary excretion of pyridoxine and its metabolites following relatively large oral doses. The initial studies of Scudi, Unna & Antopol (1940) and Scudi, Koones & Keresztesy (1940) in man, the dog and the rat, were made using a colorimetic method for estimating pyridoxine and its metabolites. Although this method fails to estimate 4-pyridoxic acid, now known to be the principal urinary metabolite ofpyridoxine in man (Reddy, Reynolds & Price, 1958), these workers did show that pyridoxine was excreted in the urine very soon after it was ingested, and they therefore concluded that absorption must be exceedingly rapid. Recently pyridoxine hydrochloride labelled with tritium has become available, and it is now possible to measure small amounts of this substance with accuracy. In this paper we report the results of studies of absorption of tritiated pyridoxine in the rat. Observations were made on the rates and sites of absorption of varying doses; the capacity of the small intestine of the rat to absorb increasing amounts of pyridoxine was also studied.
