Ethanol Effects on Intestinal Functions in Giardia lamblia-Infected Rats

The effect of Giardia lamblia infection on D-glucose uptake and brush-border enzymes was studied in chronically ethanol-fed rats. Giardia lamblia trophozoites counts were significantly lower in the intestine of ethanol-fed rats than in the controls. Also, the Na+-dependent uptake of D-glucose and br...
