A rapid method to assess the hydrophobicity of the intestinal microvillus membrane in vivo.
Absorption rates for many biologically important compounds are determined by the relative hydrophobicity of the jejunal microvillus membrane. An estimate of this parameter may be obtained by measuring the incremental change in free energy that occurs when a methylene group partitions into the bilaye...
