ketone/diarrhea

OBJECTIVE Irritable bowel syndrome is a gastrointestinal disorder which can influence human metabolism. It has been demonstrated that probiotics are beneficial in controlling IBS. Thus, the main objective of the present study was to determine metabolic changes in response to diarrhea predominant

We report two unrelated children with onset of chronic diarrhea and villous atrophy in the first years of life. Elevated plasma lactate concentrations and lactate/pyruvate and ketone body molar ratios suggested a genetic defect of oxidative phosphorylation. Analysis of the mitochondrial respiratory

Methyl trans-styryl ketone is used as a synthetic flavoring agent and a fragrance additive in food and personal care products. Methyl trans-styryl ketone was nominated for study by the National Cancer Institute due to widespread human exposure as a flavoring and fragrance additive, positive results

A new bis-Mannich base (NC758) derived from a conjugated styryl ketone has demonstrated activities against human and animal tumors, both in vitro and as xenografts in athymic mice. The present study examined the toxicity of this candidate anticancer drug, when administered intraperitoneally by

Metabolomics studies have the potential to discover biomarkers. Fecal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been found to differ in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Murine models of colitis offer an alternative to human studies in which diet can be controlled.

OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of newborn aristolochic acid nephropathy induced by akebia. METHODS Retrospective analysis of clinical manifestations, therapy and prognosis was made upon data of 3 newborn infants with renal function lesion induced by

OBJECTIVE To report the first case of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) deficiency diagnosed by genetic sequencing in China, and to improve the cognition of this rare disease. METHODS The clinical and laboratory characteristics of FBPase deficiency were reviewed, and the findings of direct

We report a case of acute pancreatitis with diabetic ketoacidosis associated with increased serum myoglobin concentration, acute renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A 49-year-old man suffering from diarrhea, vomiting, and somnolence was admitted to the hospital. He had had

This study investigated the potential toxicity of the Areca catechu water extract after 13-week repeated oral administration at 0, 166.7, 500, and 1500 mg/kg/day in rats. During the study period, clinical signs, mortality, body weight, food consumption, water consumption, urinalysis, estrous cycle,

A 52-year-old man was admitted with diarrhea, near dehydration and dyspnoea. After many years of alcohol consumption, he had stopped drinking alcohol over a very short space of time and had eaten very little or nothing. He had tachypnoea, hypotension and an enlarged liver. Laboratory analysis

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria (3-HMG, OMIN 246450) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase, a key enzyme in leucine metabolism and ketone body synthesis. Acute episodes of 3-HMG may be triggered by fasting or infection,

Investigations on utilization of fats have been carried out at altitudes of 3,500, 3,800, and 4,700 m, respectively, on 27, 7, and 12 soldiers staying at these altitudes for over 4 months in tentage accommodation. At 3,500 m the fat utilization was 95.9, 96.2, and 96.6% on intakes of 128, 168, and

A 37-year-old woman was admitted in a comatose state, after exhibiting fever and diarrhea. Diabetic ketoacidosis was diagnosed due to an increased blood glucose level (672 mg/dl), metabolic acidosis, and positive urinary ketone bodies. On the fifth hospital day, despite recovery from the critical
