The magnitude of complex carbohydrate malabsorption in exocrine pancreatic insufficiency has not been well quantified in the past. The quantity of carbohydrate malabsorbed after a rice starch (100 g) meal in 20 patients with chronic pancreatitis (n = 10) or pancreatic cancer (n = 10) was therefore
The absorption of rice flour and the mouth-to-cecum transit time of a nonabsorbable carbohydrate were measured by breath hydrogen excretion technique in 10 patients with alcoholic pancreatic insufficiency, to evaluate the underlying mechanisms of carbohydrate malabsorption. Breath hydrogen excretion
OBJECTIVE
The hydrogen (H2) breath test is widely used in the assessment of carbohydrate malabsorption. Severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency markedly diminishes pancreatic amylase production and results in malabsorption of complex carbohydrates. Thus, the H2 breath test with low-dose rice flour
To determine the relative role of malabsorption as the cause of decreased linoleic acid in blood and tissue lipids of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and pancreatic insufficiency, the increase in plasma linoleic acid was determined after ingestion of various lipid supplements. CF patients with
BACKGROUND
Cystic fibrosis causes exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, leading to malabsorption. Supplemental pancreatic enzyme therapy alleviates the concomitant malnutrition experienced by cystic fibrosis patients. It is recognized that patients experience variations in clinical response to
The pancreas is a soft, finely lobulated gland located behind the peritoneum on the posterior abdominal wall and has both endocrine and exocrine functions. It plays an essential role in the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with pancreatic atrophy and compromised digestion of carbohydrates as a result of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and lower alpha-amylase synthesis and secretion. The reduced production of digestive enzymes is likely to be caused by deregulated protein
The indication for initiation of a replacement therapy with pancreatic enzymes in the course of ongoing exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is clinically given with the appearance of loss of body weight, steatorrhea with stool fat excretion of more than 15 g per day, dyspeptic symptoms with strong
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health problem at present affecting about 180 million people worldwide. DM is associated with many metabolic abnormalities in the body including the indigestion of carbohydrates leading to malnutrition and weight loss. In this article we investigate the cellular and
Patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) have suboptimal secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes and experience a range of clinical symptoms related to the malabsorption of fat. In patients with EPI unable to meet their nutritional requirements, enteral nutrition (EN) support is used
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic genetic disease mainly affecting the exocrine glands. Its main clinical symptoms are: abnormal production of mucus which blocks the airways, pancreatic insufficiency and increased sweat electrolytes. In the present investigation a series of enzymes and
OBJECTIVE
To assess the prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus in a group of patients with cystic fibrosis and to compare insulin secretion, haemoglobin A1c, age, gender, genotype, and clinical status related variables between the groups with abnormal (impaired glucose
Despite relative lactase deficiency and pancreatic insufficiency, premature infants are fed formulas containing 50% lactose plus 50% glucose polymers. We measured total fecal carbohydrate excretion in six healthy 32-wk gestation premature infants who had been fed two 0.784-kcal/g formulas that were
Comparative studies of pancreatic enzymes carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were performed in various pancreatic disease. In acute pancreatitis as well as during acute exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis, all pancreatic enzymes were abnormally high. In chronic
