Hypoxia in the neonate is known to alter the activity of hepatic and pancreatic enzymes involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of neonatal hypoxia on the activity of intestinal enzymes, and to determine whether the administration of
We report a study of an adult with a maltase acid deficiency myopathy. A restrictive respiratory syndrome due to respiratory muscle weakness is associated with paralysis of other muscular groups. In 1982 the patient presented with an alveolar hypoventilation, and mechanical ventilation was required
Growth failure is a major complication of chronic hypoxemia, as seen in infants and children with cyanotic congenital heart disease. To determine whether chronic hypoxemia during infancy affects the gastrointestinal tract, we examined small intestinal growth and digestive enzyme activities in
A model of nonischemic hypoxia of the jejunum was designed in dogs, by shunting of blood from the inferior vena cava directly into the regional mesenteric arterial supply, thereby lowering the PaO2 of the blood that reached the jejunal wall from 98.6 +/- 3 to 62 +/- 5 mm Hg. Absorption rates of
Hagfishes are characterised by feeding behaviours that may include long intervals between meals, and a hypoxic feeding environment inside decaying carrion. The effects of feeding on metabolism (oxygen consumption rate), gut mass and morphology (gut somatic index, gut epithelium mucosal thickness),
A 60-year-old woman with chronic progressive fatigue, diurnal somnolence, proximal muscle weakness, and dyspnea developed acute respiratory failure when given supplemental oxygen. Hypoventilation secondary to neuromuscular dysfunction was suspected by the critical care specialist. Neurologic
In this study we investigated the function of the obstructed small bowel of the rat, the behaviour of the mucosal enzymes, the metabolic changes of the small bowel wall and the morphology of the mucosa. We found a decrease of passive transport of 3H-Antipyrine which was equal after 24 and 48 hrs.
