Absorption of calcium was measured by direct intubation and perfusion of the small intestine in 10 volunteer normal adult subjects, two adults with celiac-sprue, and one with a parathyroid adenoma. A total of 60 studies were completed using one of two different levels, duodenojejunum or ileum. Solutions containing stable calcium, radiocalcium(47), and a nonabsorbable dilution-concentration marker, polyethylene glycol, were infused at a uniform rate via the proximal lumen of a triple-lumen polyvinyl tube. The mixed intraluminal contents were continuously sampled by siphonage from two distal sites, 10 and 60 cm below the point of infusion. Unidirectional flux rates, lumen to blood and blood to lumen, and net absorption of calcium for the 50 cm segment of small intestine between the two collection sites were calculated from the measured changes in concentration of stable calcium, calcium-47, and polyethylene glycol.Flux of calcium from lumen to blood in the duodenojejunum of normal subjects was appreciable even when the concentration of calcium in the perfusate was below that of extracellular fluid and, as the intraluminal concentration of calcium was increased through a range of 0.5-3.5 mumoles/ml, was positively correlated, ranging from 1.9 to 7.0 mumoles/min per 50 cm. Repeated studies of individual subjects demonstrated a consistent pattern of absorptive efficiency in each, but significant variability from person to person. Flux from lumen to blood in the ileal segment occurred at a much lower rate than that found in the proximal intestine, and there was not a significant dependence upon intraluminal calcium concentration. The opposite flux, from blood to lumen, was low both in the duodenojejunum and ileum (average 0.76 mumoles/min per 50 cm) and was independent of the intraluminal calcium concentration. Unidirectional flux, lumen to blood, from the duodenojejunum was not altered by parathyroid extract administered at the time of the infusion, but was accelerated in the subject with a parathyroid adenoma and markedly reduced in the two subjects with celiac-sprue.
