Intestinal absorption of glucose and activities of amylases of intestinal and pancreatic origin were measured in animals vitamin A deficient, diabetic and combined state of vitamin A deficiency with diabetes. The vitamin A deficient diet caused a significant reduction in intestinal digestive and absorptive functions. On the other hand the digestive and absorptive functions were increased in the diabetic state. The combination of diabetes with vitamin A deficient diet caused a decrease in the digestive and absorptive functions along with blood glucose level in comparison to diabetic state alone. These findings suggest that the inhibition of digestive and absorptive functions observed in the combined state of vitamin A deficiency and diabetes may be due to the presence of vitamin A deficient diet.
在维生素A缺乏、糖尿病以及维生素A缺乏合并糖尿病的动物中，测定了葡萄糖的肠道吸收以及肠道和胰腺来源淀粉酶的活性。维生素A缺乏饮食导致肠道消化和吸收功能显著降低。另一方面，糖尿病状态下消化和吸收功能增强。与单纯糖尿病状态相比，糖尿病合并维生素A缺乏饮食导致消化和吸收功能以及血糖水平降低。这些发现表明，在维生素A缺乏和糖尿病合并状态下观察到的消化和吸收功能抑制可能是由于维生素A缺乏饮食的存在。
