13C-egg white breath test: a non-invasive test of pancreatic trypsin activity in the small intestine.
BACKGROUND The recent availability of egg white protein highly enriched with (13)C has allowed breath test technology to be adapted for the study of protein digestion and absorption. Pancreatic trypsin is considered to be the key enzyme in the proteolytic cascade. AIM To evaluate trypsin activity in the small intestine of healthy volunteers and patients with pancreatic disease by a recently d...

متن کاملLow dose capsule based 13c-urea breath test compared with the conventional 13c-urea breath test and invasive tests.
CONTEXT One of the limitations of 13C-urea breath test for Helicobacter pylori infection diagnosis in Brazil is the substrate acquisition in capsule presentation. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate a capsule-based 13C-urea, manipulated by the Pharmacy Division, for the clinical practice. METHODS Fifty patients underwent the conventional and the capsule breath test. Samples...
متن کاملGender affects 13C-ketoisocaproic acid breath test.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS 13C-Ketoisocaproic Acid Breath Test (13C-Kica-BT) has been proposed to assess mitochondrial function. Aim of this study is to evaluate whether gender affects mithocondrial oxidation by means of 13C-Kica-BT in healthy subjects in basal conditions and after an acute oxidative stress induced by ethanol. METHODOLOGY 50 healthy volunteers were given 1 mg/kg of 13C-Kica together...
متن کاملThe non-invasive 13C-methionine breath test detects hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction as a marker of disease activity in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
INTRODUCTION Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in the general pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), increasing the risk of developing steatosis and subsequent hepatocellular inflammation. We aimed to assess hepatic mitochondrial function by a non-invasive (13)C-methionine breath test (MeBT) in patients with histologically proven NAFLD. METHODS 118 NAFLD-patie...
