Lipase hydrolyzes fat to free fatty acid and monoacylglycerol, which can be absorbed. Lipase inhibitors reduce the absorption of fat by intestinal cells. In this paper, we explored a novel treatment for obesity. Lipase was strongly inhibited by furoic acid and oxalic acid (IC50 of 2.12 ± 0.04 and
In order to investigate the effect on urinary oxalic acid excretion, ten patients with jejunoileostomy for morbid obesity were treated with oral calcium. We found a statistically significant decrease. The investigation suggests that the oral administration of calcium alone is not sufficient, in a
Hypoferremia is more prevalent in obese than nonobese adults, but the reason for this phenomenon is unknown. To elucidate the role dietary factors play in obesity-related hypoferremia, the intake of heme and nonheme iron and the intake of other dietary factors known to affect iron absorption were
Sleep is an essential biological process that is thought to have a critical role in metabolic regulation. In humans, reduced sleep duration has been associated with risk for metabolic disorders, including weight gain, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. However, our understanding of the
A 32-year-old women was treated for overweight by gastrointestinal bypass surgery. Following surgery, repeated calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis was observed and secondary hyperoxaluria was diagnosed. Treatment with low oxalate and fat diet resulted in normal urinary oxalic acid excretion; no further
Five patients with jejunoileal shunt for morbid obesity in whom postshunt hyperoxaluria and recurrent urinary tract calculi developed are presented. All the stones were composed of calcium oxalate. The twenty-four hour urinary oxalic acid levels were also elevated in twenty of twenty-six patients
Renal urolithiasis is a pathological condition common to a multitude of genetic, physiological and nutritional disorders, ranging from general hyperoxaluria to obesity. The concept of quickly dissolving renal uroliths via chemolysis, especially calcium-oxalate kidney stones, has long been a clinical
BACKGROUND
Organic acids from plant food have been shown to play an important role in the prevention of chronic diseases (osteoporosis, obesity), inherent to western diets, but little is known about their bioavailability in the small intestine, information that needs to be determined in order to
