1.   Both increased bone resorption and increased intestinal absorption of calcium occur.

2.   An increased absorption of PEGs in active ulcerative colitis could be explained by the presence of inflammation resulting in the loss of mucosal integrity.

3.   Ultrastructural changes in colonic mucosa consistent with increased absorption have been described in ulcerative colitis, in both affected and unaffected areas.

4.   Tests conducted on animals suggested that children are also more likely to retain a greater dose of certain toxins because of increased absorption and decreased elimination.

5.   On sunny days, it is much hotter owing to the increased absorption of both infra-red and visible light.
