1. The esters accumulated in the mucosa of the rat small intestine during the absorption of the sugar given were identified as follows by means of paper chromatography combined with radioautography:
a. Glucose: G-1-P, G-6-P and F-1, 6-diP.
b. Fructose: G-6-P, F-1, 6-diP, F-1-P and an unknown ter.
c. Galactose: could not be decided.
2. G-1-P, G-6-P and F-1, 6-diP were also found each in an appreciable amount in the intestinal mucosa in rats which had been starved for 24 to 48hours.
3. The existence of phosphoglucomutase in the mucosa of rat small intestine was confirmed.
4. ATP accelerated the conversion of G-6-P to G-1-P by reversing the equilibrium.
5. Glycogen content in the mucosa during hexose-absorption increased.
6. The rate at which different sugar phosphates were split by the purified intestinal phosphatase was varied in this decreasing order:
G-1-P>β-glycerophosphate>F-1, 6-diP>G-6-P.
7. The amount in which three phosphorylated sugars, G-l-P, G-6-P and F-1, 6-diP, were absorbed in a difinite time was varied in the follow-ing order:
G-1-P>G-6-P>F-1, 6-diP.
I wish to thank Prof. Dr. R. Hirohata, director of the Department, for sug-gesting this problem, and for his valuable advice and encouragement throughout the investigation. Many thanks are also due to Assist. Prof. Dr. J. Nagai, for his encouraging interest during the course of this work.
The present work was partly aided by the Scientific Research Fund of Ministry of Education.
