Male children (N = 101) 6-35 months of age presenting with acute watery diarrhea for less than 48 h at home before hospitalization were admitted into a randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Fifty-one children were treated with standard oral rehydration solution (ORS) (World Health Organization
Measurements of serum bile acids (glycine conjugates of cholic, chenodeoxycholic, deoxycholic, and lithocholic acids) by radioimmunoassay in a variety of pediatric hepatobiliary disorders showed elevations in neonatal hepatitis syndromes, cholestasis, and hepatitis of extrahepatic or intrahepatic
OBJECTIVE
In this study, the effect of dietary glycine on experimental colitis induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in the rat was evaluated.
METHODS
Male Wistar rats were fed a diet containing 5% glycine or casein as controls starting 3 days before
In vitro uptake of 14C-L-glycine was studied in jejunal mucosa biopsy specimens from 27 patients with cholera (proven by stool culture) presenting within 48 h of onset of watery diarrhea. In time series experiments, 14C-L-glycine uptake was found to follow saturation kinetics (being saturated at 5
The uptake of L-[14C]glycine and the activities of intracellular marker enzymes of enterocytes were studied in ligated small intestinal segments of rabbits during experimental cholera induced by intra-intestinal injection of pure cholera toxin (CT). No significant difference was observed in the
The safety, efficacy and acceptability of glycine-fortified oral rehydration solution (ORS) was compared with that of standard WHO-ORS in a controlled randomized trial. Fifty male infants with acute, watery, non-cholera diarrhea were studied. Glycine-fortified ORS at a concentration of 111 mmol/L
Twenty-one diarrheic calves were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 oral electrolyte treatments. The treatments were either a conventional oral electrolyte containing glycine (40 mmol/L) as the amino acid, an oral electrolyte in which glutamine (40 mmol/L) replaced glycine or an electrolyte in which high
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein is a cAMP-regulated epithelial Cl- channel that, when defective, causes cystic fibrosis. Screening of a collection of 100,000 diverse small molecules revealed four novel chemical classes of CFTR inhibitors with Ki < 10 microM,
It was hypothesized that a mixture of glucose and amino acids enhances sodium and water absorption and therefore diminishes the volume of oral rehydration solution, stool output, and duration of diarrhea. To investigate this hypothesis, the efficacies of two oral rehydration solutions (ORS) were
Gastrointestinal bleeding and increased intestinal permeability have been observed in marathon runners. We sought to determine if L-arginine would be useful for prevention of these complications. Twenty-three runners were randomized to receive L-arginine (A) or glycine (placebo) (G), 10 grams 3
Twenty-four male Guatemalan children, aged 7 to 23 mo, suffering dehydration due to acute diarrhea were studied to assess their fecal endogenous losses of trace minerals zinc, iron, and copper while treated with oral rehydration therapy, either with standard or glycine-added solutions. Sodium and
The next decade should explode with exciting schemes and novel agents for the prevention and treatment of infectious diarrhea. The development of oral, nonabsorbed antibiotics will continue, but new antidiarrheal drugs, such as gastrointestinal hormone analogues and alpha-adrenergic agonists, will
Seven patients with familial amyloid neuropathy (AF amyloidosis) were studied to clarify the pathophysiology of the diarrhea associated with this disorder. Fecal weight and fat determinations, 14C-glycocholate breath tests, and a test of B12 absorption were performed before and after treatment with
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
The effects of therapy with glutamine and alanyl-glutamine on diarrhea and antiretroviral drug levels in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) were examined in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study in northeast Brazil. Patients with AIDS and with diarrhea and/or
