Membrane Permeability
Short Description
Assay kit that uses D-xylose, a simple monosaccharide, for evaluating ttranscellular membrane permeability by passive carrier-mediated uptake.
Background
The transport of molecules from the gut into the body occurs either in between the cells or through the cells, paracellularly or transcellularly, respectively. Fluorescent-labeled dextrans can be used to evaluate paracellular permeability, while D-xylose, a simple monosaccharide, can be used to evaluate transcellular uptake. However, it may be necessary to use two different markers to evaluate permeability. For example, two groups of rats fed total parenteral nutrition supplemented with two different amino acid cocktails showed an increase in fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled dextran permeability in one group over the other, but no discernible difference in D-xylose uptake between the two groups. This data shows that measuring only one mode of transport may result in incorrect conclusions about permeability.
