Sulfatide in the intestine, stomach and liver after oral administration of 3H-sulfatide
| Hours after sulfatide load | Stomach nmol/mg protein | Duodenum/Jejunum nmol/mg protein | Ileum nmol/mg protein | Terminal ileum nmol/mg protein | Liver nmol/mg protein |
| 1–2 | 0,58 ± 0,14 (8) | 0,09 ± 0,01 (8) | 0,24 ± 0,02 (8) | 0,61 ± 0,26 (3) | 0,004 ± 0,001 (5) |
| 5–6 | 0,18 ± 0,03 (7)* | 0,04 ± 0,01 (7)* | 0,08 ± 0,02 (7)** | 0,08 ± 0,03 (7) (n.s.) | 0,004 ± 0,001 (7) (n.s) |
| 24 | 0,26 ± 0,04 (3)* | 0,03 ± 0,01 (7)* | 0,05 ± 0,01 (7)** | 0,05 ± 0,01 (7) (n.s.) | 0,006 ± 0,003 (3) (n.s.) |
BALB/c mice received sulfatide (250 nmol-1 μmol/mL, 1.7 × 106 dpm/mouse of 3H-sulfatide) orally, whereafter the animals were sacrificed after 1–2 hours (n = 8), 5–6 hours (n = 7) or 24 hours (n = 7). Values are mean ± SEM (n). Sulfatide was quantified using TLC-ELISA.
* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01, with respect to the sulfatide concentrations 1–2 hours after sulfatide administration. n.s. = not significant.
