Gastrointestinal assimilation of Cu during digestion of a single meal in the freshwater rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Abstract
Gastrointestinal processing and assimilation of Cu in vivo was investigated by sequential chyme analysis over a 72 h period following ingestion of a single satiation meal (3% body weight) of commercial trout food (Cu content=0.42 micromol g(-1)) by adult rainbow trout. Leaded glass ballotini beads incorporated into the food and detected by X-ray radiography were employed as an inert marker in order to quantify net Cu absorption or secretion in …
