Relatively little information is available concerning the membrane structure of the mucosal cells of the small intestine. Hdber and Hober (1) and Schanker, Tocco, Brodie, and Hogben (2, 3) studied the absorption of a variety of substances in rats and found that absorption rate increased as lipid solubility increased. From this it has been deduced that mucosal cell membranes are lipoid in nature and that lipid-soluble substances are absorbed by dissolving in the cell membrane. However, it has been known for many years that small molecules, although lipid insoluble, can also be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. This has led to the hypothesis that, although essentially lipoidal, cell membranes are interspersed with water-filled pores, through which small molecules can diffuse. Hbber and Hdber (1) tested this hypothesis in the small intestine of the rat by correlating the absorption rate of nonlipid-soluble substances with their molecular size. Their results support the thesis that these molecules are absorbed by diffusion through water-filled pores, since small molecules were absorbed more rapidly than larger ones, and beyond a certain size (molecular weight about 180, which corresponds to a molecular radius of about 4 A) no penetration occurred. Lindemann and Solomon's studies (4) are in close agreement, since they experimentally determined, by an independent method, the pore radius of the luminal surface of the rat jejunal cells
