Meanings of absorptive capacity in English

The water absorptive capacity of the intestine was also measured.

A spectrum of enteropathies, characterized by small intestinal inflammation, reduced absorptive capacity, and increased intestinal permeability, commonly affect people in developing countries.

To directly estimate the absorptive capacity, an in-situ absorption test was conducted using a closed-loop of small intestine in control and MPS-treated rats.

Yet, the possibility that the presence of an inflated balloon might alter the absorptive capacity of the underlying segment of intestine has never been tested.
