We measured the response of jejunal sodium (Na) absorption to neutral amino acid (L-alanine) and to dipeptides (L-alanyl-L-alanine, glycylsarcosine) in normal piglets and in piglets with acute viral diarrhea after experimental infection with transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus. In the TGE
OBJECTIVE
To determine if oral supplementation with L-arginine could augment nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and promote epithelial defense in neonatal piglets infected with Cryptosporidium parvum.
METHODS
Neonatal piglets were fed a liquid milk replacer and on day 3 of age infected or not with 10(8) C.
This randomized, double-blind trial determined whether adding 90 mmol/L of alanine with a reduction in glucose to 90 mmol/L (alanine ORS) improves the efficacy of the standard oral rehydration solution (WHO-ORS). One hundred twenty-nine males aged 3-48 months with weight for length greater than or
Improvement of sodium absorption during the administration of oral hydration solutions (OHS) could increase the efficacy of formulations used in the treatment of infantile diarrhea. To test this hypothesis, selected protein breakdown products were evaluated as absorption enhancers in OHS of
Twenty male infants less than 1 year of age with acute diarrhea and dehydration were randomly assigned to a study group and studied in blind fashion in a metabolic unit to assess the efficacy of the addition of 30 mmol/L alanine to the standard World Health Organization (WHO) oral rehydration
We studied sodium-dependent uptake of L-alanine into small intestinal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) isolated from piglets 40 h after infection with transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus. Vesicles from TGE-infected pigs and uninfected litter-mate controls showed comparable degrees of
We investigated the effectiveness of L-alanine (Ala) addition to oral hydration solutions (OHSs) during secretory conditions induced by ileal instillation of 10 mM theophylline in anesthetized rats using a perfusion procedure, and monitoring water and sodium transport. Ala was added to two hypotonic
Changes in carbohydrate metabolism were studied in the isolated intestinal loops of rabbits during secretory diarrhea, induced by cholera enterotoxin. Glucose synthesis level in the small intestinal mucosa and liver was measured by isotope technique, using L-alanine as a precursor. Intestinal
BACKGROUND
Polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride (PHMG) is an antimicrobial biocide of the guanidine family. In the period from August 2006 to May 2007, more than 12500 patients were admitted to hospital with a history of drinking illegal cheap "vodka" in 44 different regions in Russia, of whom
Somatostatin increases absorption of electrolytes and inhibits diarrhea in patients with endocrine tumors and short bowel syndrome. In an attempt to develop a gut-specific somatostatin analog, each amino acid in the somatostatin molecule was replaced with L-alanine, deleted, or substituted with its
Most amino acids are, like glucose, co-transported with sodium and are thereby potential additives to oral rehydration solutions for the treatment of diarrhea. In this study the effects of mucosal amino acids on short-circuit current and Na and Cl fluxes in three segments of the porcine small
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic disease that can be presented with fever, fatigue, generalized joint/body pain, diarrhea and bleeding in various parts of the body. The risk of developing a severe fatal disease in humans, the possibility of being infected with aerosols and the
OBJECTIVE
It has been reported that chlorinated organic solvent is a cause of hepatitis.
METHODS
we investigate clinical and pathological findings of a patient with severe acute hepatitis who was exposed to chlorinated organic solvents.
RESULTS
A 34-year-old man who was exposed to chlorinated
A 14-month-old female with familial dysautonomia was referred to the pediatric department with high fever (41.6 degrees C), watery diarrhea, and vomiting. A few hours later, signs of encephalopathy appeared. Laboratory tests revealed elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase (3500 U/L), aspartate
Olsalazine (OLZ), a relatively new form of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), is being used for the treatment of colitis. A major side effect of olsalazine is diarrhea, reported in 12-25% of patients. One suggested mechanism for this side effect is enhanced ileal water and electrolyte secretion. We
