Both the ascorbic acid (AsA) and erythorbic acid (ErA) absorption in the small intestine of guinea pigs were determined by the perfusion of the small intestine using isotonic phosphate buffer recycled in situ. The absorption rate of AsA in the small intestine of guinea pigs was higher than that of ErA; however, Km of AsA absorption was lower than that of ErA in normal guinea pigs. In AsA-deficient guinea pigs, the absorption rates of both AsA and ErA were higher than those in normal ones. The absorption of AsA and ErA in the small intestine of guinea pigs was inhibited by ouabain. Furthermore, AsA and ErA inhibited each other's absorption. Based on the results, the net amount of the absorbed ErA in the small intestine may be lower than that of AsA, and ErA absorption mechanism seemed to be similar to that of AsA. The absorption rate of both AsA and ErA in the small intestine of guinea pig might be dependent on the AsA level in the tissues.
