Some nutritional considerations of lactose malabsorption in Mexican American children
… lactase loading. Overall incidence of lactose malabsorption was significantly greater in Mexican American children than in Anglos. Lactose malabsorption increased with age in both groups. Incidence of symptoms occurring after lactose in lactose malabsorbers also increased with age. Most common …

Some Aspects of the Biochemistry of Malabsorption from the Upper Intestinal Tract
method has been introduced which was suitable for the routine measurement of vitamin E levels in serum. It has been used to assess the vitamin E status of 220 patients with gastrointestinal diseases. These patients serum levels were found is be significantly lower than those of blood donor normals. …

Breath hydrogen studies of lactose malabsorption in children resident in New Zealand, Cook Islands and Western Samoa
Lactose malabsorption (LM) in children was diagnosed by an elevated breath hydrogen (BH) level following a 10g lactose load. A portable gas chromatograph and a semiconductor detector, designed and constructed for use in the Pacific Islands is described. Following verification on known malabsorber …

The hormonal mechanism of intestinal adaptation
… after an initial period of weight loss and malabsorption. No doubt, this reserve is in part due to the very high rate of epithelial proliferation in small bowel mucosa. Intestinal adaptation is the result of morphological and functional changes, and while these parameters can be accurately …

Butyrate-induced upregulation of intestinal glucose transport and signaling pathways represent a possible nutrient therapy for individuals with malabsorptive disorders
Individuals with significant intestinal malabsorption face challenges digesting and absorbing sufficient nutrients. A number of intestinal diseases, including celiac disease, short bowel syndrome (SBS), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and the inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn’s disease and …

The Role of Inflammation in the Pathobiology of TB/HIV Co-infection
… is further complicated by drug interaction and malabsorption issues when combining antiretroviral treatment and TB chemotherapy. The molecular basis for pathogen synergy that leads to an aggressive course of TB in those with HIV-1 infection, however, is poorly defined. This is especially true at …

Experiences of adult patients living with home parenteral nutrition: a grounded theory study. A qualitative research into the experiences of home parenteral nutrition: discovery of patients’ perspectives.
… with intestinal failure (IF) develop problems of malabsorption and malnutrition associated with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) became available to treat these patients since the 1970s. There is a paucity of qualitative research on patients’ experiences in the UK. The …

Nanocomposite immunosensor for anti-transglutaminase antibody
… line the bowel. It is the most common cause of malabsorption of food nutrients. This inability to absorb sufficient levels of nutrients causes many of the common symptoms experienced by CD patients. Some of the symptoms, which lead to an increase in mortality rate, include chronic diarrhea, …

The role of Dietary Interventions in Broiler Intestinal Health and Immunity
… of the mucosal layer has been implicated in malabsorption, leading to reduced animal productivity. The objective of the work described in this thesis was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of mannan-rich natural formulations on broiler tissue morphology, mucin barrier …

Effect of Chronic Ethanol Consumption on Vitamin a Metabolism (beta-Carotene, Rats)
… were not altered by ethanol consumption. Malabsorption of vitamin A in ethanol-fed rats was not indicated, since ethanol-fed rats excreted less of an intragastric dose of labelled vitamin A in feces than did control rats, and since no change in absorption of the labelled vitamin occurred …

Characterising the immunometabolic profile of HIV/TB co-infection
… culminating in a reduced appetite and malabsorption, which support the profile of exacerbated wasting in HIV/TB co-infected individuals. Treating HIV in the co-infected group revealed that some altered metabolites returned to values comparable to those of the healthy or the TB-positive …

Plastic Embedding Techniques for Light Microscopy Histological Studies
… two important disaccharidases for assessing malabsorption were sensitive to specific processing agents and could easily be lost, resulting in false negative staining. However, by using a specific processing schedule and times, the author was able to demonstrate how best tissue could be …

Influence of various health beneficial spices on some characteristics of yogurt culture bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, and sensor acceptability of spicy probiotic yogurt
… that produce lactase and reduce the symptoms of malabsorption. Earlier work has shown the influence of spice extracts but the influence of pure spice juice on yogurt culture bacteria is not known. Characteristics of yogurt culture bacteria were measured by suspending freshly thawed cultures in …

Metabolism and Handling of Folates in the Mammal Especially Man
… of oral folate was altered in some diseases. Malabsorption of 5-methyltetrahydropteroylglutamic acid was demonstrated in adult coeliac disease and leukaemia's. Oral folate metabolism in the presence of a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor (methotrexate) administered orally 24 hour before the …

The Influence of Selected Novel Glucose -Based Polymers on Nutrient Digestion, Glycemic and Insulinemic Responses, Colonic Fermentation Characteristics, and Ileal and Colonic Microflora Concentrations in the Adult Canine and (Or) Human
… glycemic and insulinemic response, carbohydrate malabsorption, and gastrointestinal tolerance of low molecular weight pullulan in nondiabetic, healthy, adult humans. Similar data exist on high molecular weight pullulan. Study 3 determined the effects of low doses of supplemental pullulan and …

Nutritional parameters associated with enteric Escherichia coli and rotavirus in poults
… on body weight at both levels of protein. A malabsorption of nutrients accompanied E. coli infection in spite of reduced feed consumption as indicated by increased excreta nitrogen and gross energy content for all infected poults. In three experiments, rotavirus was orally inoculated into …

Beyond the basal ganglia
… affected in both HD patients and R6/2 mice and malabsorption of nutrients was observed in end-stage R6/2 mice. Although gastro-intestinal dysfunction is unlikely to be the cause of weight loss in HD, it may play an important role in the acceleration of weight loss in the final stages of the …

Hand-washing and its impact on child health in Kathmandu, Nepal
Gut damage, resulting in maldigestion or malabsorption of food and stimulation of the immune system, has been linked to growth faltering in young children in the developing world. Gut damage occurs along a spectrum, with only the more severe damage resulting in visible symptoms such as diarrhoea; …
