A significantly smaller amount of capsaicin was absorbed into the gut wall, and none appeared in the mucosal solution. It is suggested that capsaicin may inhibit the ATPasedependent sodium pump of the basolateral membrane, with consequent inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption. © 1979.Mahidol UniversityPharmacology, Toxicology and PharmaceuticsArticleSCOPUS10.1016/0378-4274(79)90051-1
