Five patients aged 7 to 21 months are described who developed attacks of coma after a short prodromal illness with diarrhea or vomiting or both. Four had concomitant hypoglycemia, and all had hypoketonemia, with excessive urinary excretion of medium-chain dicarboxylic acids, medium-chain

The effects of cholera toxin-induced diarrhea on the absorption of fatty acids of different chain lengths were investigated using rat small intestine. In the study using isolated jejunal loops, the absorption of the long-chain fatty acid, linoleic acid, into the intestinal mucosa was significantly

Various strategies have been proposed to mitigate potential risk of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) transmission via feed and feed ingredients. Wet disinfection has been found to be the most effective decontamination of feed mill surfaces; however, this is not practical on a commercial feed

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) addition on nursery pig growth performance, fecal microbial composition, and mitigation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) following storage. A total of 360 pigs (DNA 400 × 200, Columbus, NE;

A family is described in which the father and three (and probably all four) of his children had a decreased capacity for the oxidation of medium-chain fatty acids. One of the children suddenly died at the age of 16 months following an episode of a rapidly deteriorating Reye syndrome-like illness

The influence of fatty acids on ileal absorption of water, electrolytes, glucose, and taurocholate was examined in Thirty-Vella fistulas in five mongrel dogs. Fatty acid absorption also was measured. Segments of terminal ileum were perfused at steady state with isotonic electrolyte solutions

OBJECTIVE Patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have been found to have increased postprandial levels of serotonin (5-HT). Functional dyspepsia (FD) and IBS have been proposed to have common methods of pathogenesis, but little is known about the role of 5-HT in
