  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Intestinal function in mallard ducklings (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anas platyrhynchos&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) on a freshwater regime was studied after a 7-day dietary ingestion of 0.25% and 2.5% Prudhoe Bay crude oil (PBCO) or a 2.5% paraffin mixture with an in vivo luminal perfusion technique. Dietary ingestion of 2.5% PBCO may have an effect on the integrity of the duckling intestine. There were no significant effects of PBCO on the absorption of Na, Cl, K, or H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;O compared with control animals. The ducklings fed 2.5% paraffin had a significant depression in Na and H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;O absorption compared with controls. However, this depression does not seem to be related to an effect on intestinal mucosa Na-K-ATPase activity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
