The Sodium Concentration of Enteral Diets Does Not Influence Absorption of Nutrients but Induces Intestinal Secretion of Water in Miniature Pigs'2

ABSTRACT Contradictory opinions exist as to whether the sodium concentration of enteral diets influences absorption of macronutrients and transepithelial movement of sodium and water. Therefore, we investigated the effects of various sodium concentrations of enteral diets on absorption of macronutrients and on net fluxes of sodium and water...
