Introduccion
There are marked differences among some species in the capacity for paracellular absorption.
For example, Caviedes-Vidal et al. (2007) found that compared with nonying mammals, small
birds generally, and at least two species of bats, absorb signicantly more metabolically inert
nonactively transported monosaccharides, indicating an enhanced paracellular path way for
intestinal absorption of water soluble nutrients such as glucose and amino acids (Caviedes-
Vidal et al., 2007; Fasulo et al., 2013a). One mechanism for increasing paracellular absorption
per cm2 SI is having an increased density of enterocytes per nominal area, hence an increased
number of TJs across which paracellular absorption occurs. We tested this possible mechanism
by comparing two species recently shown to differ in paracellular absorption. In absorption
studies with intact animals, the small bat Tadarida brasiliensis absorbed ve times more than
laboratory mice (Mus musculus)of an oral dose of the inert carbohydrate probe L-arabinose
(MM 5 150.13), which is absorbed exclusively 2Tby paracellular route (Table2; Fasulo et al.,
2013a, b). Moreover, intestinal perfusion experiments with L-arabinose conrmed the higher
paracellular permeability per cm2 of the intestines of these bats compared to those of mice
(Table 2; Price et al., 2013). Therefore, we predicted that the density of enterocytes and thus
TJs would be higher in the bat than in the mouse. To our knowledge, we performed the rst
comparative analysis of enterocyte size and number in ying and nonying mammals.
