NOTES

Female Abdominal skin was obtained at autopsy. The results were given as +/- SE. I have converted these to SD for the purpose of this database. [3H]Sucrose was added to provide a continuous check of membrane integrity. The loading and concentration was extrapolated back from the results (% Absorption/amount absorbed)
