Since high anorectal malformations with fistulae in human embryos and fetuses of successive developmental stages have not been reported, the embryologic relationship between the rectal fistula (RF) and the genitourinary tract (GUT) in high anorectal agenesis (ARA) remains to be elucidated. This

Three groups of male rats were maintained on 10% fat diets containing 0.5, 5 or 10% corn oil or olive oil with 80--400 mg DL-alpha-tocopherol per kilogram. After 4 weeks on such regimens, TBA (thiobarbituric acid) values in serum, liver mitochondria and microsomes, and adipose tissue increased with

Both real and sham feeding of sucrose increase dopamine (DA) overflow in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). Fat is another constituent of foods that is inherently preferred by humans and rodents. We examined the affect of sham feeding corn oil in rats that were food and water deprived overnight. Rats were

The mechanism of ethinylestradiol-induced biliary secretion of excess cholesterol, a potential causative factor of cholesterol gallstones, is not yet known. It might be related to altered bile acid metabolism, since the rate of cholesterol and phospholipid secreted into bile is thought to be

Since the intubation study of B. Borgstrom, A. Dahlqvist, and G. Lundh (J. Clin. Invest. 36: 1521-1536, 1957) in humans, the completion of fat absorption within the proximal small intestine has been widely accepted. Based on this report, it has been assumed that the distal small intestine is exposed

We investigated the effect of fat or digestive products of fat on the release of endogenous secretin in 15 gastric fistula dogs with either pancreatic fistulas or duodenal fistulas. In 4 dogs with both gastric and duodenal cannulas, intraduodenal administration of corn oil (Lipomul) at a dose of 15

Neurotensin is a potent stimulant of pancreatic exocrine secretion. Ileal mucosa is the storage site for about 90% of total neurotensin. Release occurs rapidly after a fatty meal and during perfusion of the duodenum and jejunum with fat but not during perfusion of the ileum with fat. To determine

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pentobarbital, halothane, and chloralose anesthesia on the endogenous release of cholecystokinin-33 (CCK-33) in dogs prepared with duodenal fistulas. Release of CCK-33 was induced by intraduodenal infusion of a medium-chain triglyceride

A test meal (300 mg casein, 600 mg sucrose, 100 mg corn oil, tracer dose of 9.10(3)H oleic acid) was given to fasting adult rats with intestinal lymph fistulas. One group received an acute oral dose of ethanol (3.2 g/kg body weight) simultaneously with the test meal. Controls received 2.5 ml of

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of neurotensin (NT) on pancreatic exocrine secretion in awake dogs (n = 5) with chronic gastric and pancreatic fistulas. Intravenous (IV) infusion of NT (1 microgram/kg/hr) alone significantly stimulated pancreatic secretion of protein and

In vivo studies were carried out in young Sprague-Dawley rats to examine the role of gastric lipolysis on fat absorption and bile acid metabolism. When fed by gastric perfusion 5 times (corn oil, 4 g/day) their usual dietary intake of fat, rats deprived of lingual lipase by the creation of an

The transport of triacylglycerol (TG) in mesenteric lymph was studied in rats with duodenal and mesenteric lymphatic cannulas with or without bile fistulas. Rats were infused with 135 mumol glycerol trioleate (TO) for 4 h, followed by 5 h of NaCl infusion. Rats with intact fistulas prefed 20% corn

We investigated the effects of endogenous and exogenous cholecystokinin (CCK) on pancreatic exocrine secretion, in particular that of bicarbonate. In six dogs prepared with gastric cannulas and Thomas duodenal cannulas, intraduodenal administration of corn oil (Lipomul) incubated with hog pancreatic

In dogs prepared with either pancreatic duct ligation (PDL) or chronic pancreatic fistula (PF), we investigated the effect of pancreatic enzymes on release of cholecystokinin (CCK) in response to corn oil in the upper small intestine. In control dogs without PDL, intraduodenal administration of corn

The role of the human intestine has been explored as a site of synthesis of apoA-IV, a major apoprotein of human intestinal triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Intestinal biopsies were performed on normal volunteers while fasting and after lipid ingestion. Indirect immunofluorescence demonstrated a
