In vitro assays for determining the G.I. Absorption of an element?

09 September 2018 0 563 Report

Hello,

I have a substance, and I want to determine whether this substances prevents the absorption of copper within the G.I. tract. Without doing any in vivo rat work, it there a known assay that can determine this?
