Methods for Investigation of Intestinal Permeability

  • Chapter
Pharmacology of Intestinal Permeation I

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 70 / 1))

Abstract

The definition of permeability refers to a specific property of a biologic membrane which modifies the passage of a given substrate, the permeant. Clearly, the distinction between free diffusion and permeation resides in the particular limitation presented to the freedom of diffusion by the membrane. The degree of limitation is determined both by the structure of the membrane and by the physico-chemical nature of the permeant.
