NOTES

Female-Osborne Mendel Rats 3-6 months old were used. A nylon ring was glued to the back with cyanoacrylate adhesive. The rats were partially restrained with rubber tubing collars. Absorption was estimated by summing the amount excreted in the urine and faeces. Some experimental detail was obtained from ref no 101
