triolein/diarrhea

In order to develop a simple and accurate screening test for steatorrhea, the authors compared quantitative stool fat excretion with breath excretion of 14CO2 after the ingestion of 14C-labeled trioctanoin, tripalmitin, or triolein. The study group included 24 nonobese subjects without steatorrhea

The aim of this study was to evaluate fat absorption in HIV-positive (HIV+) patients in different phases of HIV infection using a 14C-triolein breath test. We distributed 47 HIV+ patients according to the 1993 Centers for Disease Control Revised Classification: 20 in Group 2 (A1 or A2) and 27 in

BACKGROUND The gastrokinetic drug erythromycin is commonly administered to critically ill patients during intragastric feeding to augment small intestinal nutrient delivery. However, erythromycin has been reported to increase the prevalence of diarrhea, which may reflect reduced absorption and/or

Absorption of radioiodinated triolein was tested in 93 individuals (15 controls, 28 cases of functional diarrhea, and 50 patients with suspected or manifest malabsorption syndrome).The results so obtained were compared in 59 cases with estimations of fecal radioactivity and chemically determined

BACKGROUND Data about the etiology of chronic enteropathy in AIDS patients are scarce and are very dependent upon the geographical area. The aim of this study was to detect microorganisms potentially associated with chronic enteropathy in AIDS patients with diarrhoea for more than one month, and
