Effects of sustained ethanol intoxication and dietary fat content on pancreatic morphology were investigated in the rat model implanted with gastrostomy catheters, which permitted continuous intragastric infusion of ethanol plus liquid diet containing one of three levels of corn oil: 5% (low-fat),
3H-palmitic acid and 14C-tripalmitate dissolved in 1.0 g indian corn oil/kg body weight were administered to 29 patients with chronic pancreatitis and 25 control subjects. For the following 8 h 3H and 14C radioactivity in serum lipids and 14CO2 in expired air were measured at 2-hour intervals.
There is currently no reproducible model of the painful and lithogenic disease, chronic pancreatitis. Its biphasic evolution, from acinar cell hyperplasia and hyperactivity toward effacement of enzyme as well as bicarbonate secretory parenchyma, would be rationalized if it was linked to induction of
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by recurrent pancreatic injury, resulting in inflammation and fibrosis. Currently, there are no drugs for the treatment of pancreatic fibrosis associated with CP. Piperine, a natural alkaloid found in black pepper, has been reported to show
This study was designed to develop an animal model of alcoholic pancreatitis and to test the hypothesis that the dose of ethanol and the type of dietary fat affect free radical formation and pancreatic pathology. Female Wistar rats were fed liquid diets rich in corn oil (unsaturated fat), with or
Aqueous leaf extract of Senna auriculata (L.) Roxb. syn. Cassia auriculata (SLEx) is known to possess potential antidiabetic and antioxidant properties. Based on the known correlation between exocrine pancreatic function and endocrine secretary capacity, here, we studied the prophylactic effect of
Intravenous infusion of porcine GIP in man induces insulin release when a degree of hyperglycemia is present. This glucose-dependent insulinotropic response occurs when a dose of GIP is administered to obtain circulating levels of approximately 1 ng/ml, a physiologic level that can be achieved by
BACKGROUND
Previous studies showed divergent results concerning the influence of medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) on lipoprotein metabolism.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of MCT and corn oil on plasma lipids in primary hypertriglyceridemic patients.
METHODS
Ten
BACKGROUND
Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) supplements are used by clinicians to treat patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia who are at risk of pancreatitis. However, the potential mechanisms underlying the effects of MCT on triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) metabolism have not yet been
In 44 normal subjects, in 89 patients with chronic pancreatitis, of whom 23 had elevated faecal fat, and in 19 patients with various diseases of the small gut investigations with 14C-tripalmitate and 3H-palmitic acid, dissolved in 1.0 g Indian corn oil/kg, were performed. Serum lipid activity of 14C
Obesity has become epidemic in the United States, in Europe, and in many urban areas in the developing world. The globalization of certain 'fast foods' and 'soft drinks' may, in part, be contributing to this epidemic. Diets high in saturated fatty acids and trans fats as well as drinks that have
