C octanoic acid breath test
Although scintigraphy, a non-invasive procedure, is usually considered to be the reference technique for measuring gastric emptying in humans, several drawbacks limit its application in routine practice. Expensive equipment is required and access to a nuclear medicine department, and the use of radioactive isotopes (generally Tc and In) can produce low but significant irradiation. It is diYcult...
متن کاملAssessment of gastric emptying in non-obese diabetic mice using a [13C]-octanoic acid breath test.
Gastric emptying studies in mice have been limited by the inability to follow gastric emptying changes in the same animal since the most commonly used techniques require killing of the animals and postmortem recovery of the meal(1,2). This approach prevents longitudinal studies to determine changes in gastric emptying with age and progression of disease. The commonly used [(13)C]-octanoic acid ...
متن کاملDelayed Gastric Emptying in Anorexic Adolescents Measured with the 13C Octanoic Acid Breath Test
Many gastrointestinal complaints and motility disorders are described in patients suffering from different eating disorders. These have a negative impact on refeeding. This report evaluated—on admission—gastric emptying of a standardized solid meal with C octanoic acid breath test in anorexic adolescents. The results were compared with age and gender matched controls. Gastric emptying data were...
متن کاملBayesian Hierarchical Methods to Interpret the 13C-Octanoic Acid Breath Test for Gastric Emptying
BACKGROUND The (13)C-octanoic acid breath test is a convenient method for assessing gastric emptying (GE). Success depends on obtaining a well-characterized time profile of the excretion of label in breath, which may not be the case if GE is delayed. AIMS To use Bayesian techniques in conjunction with hierarchical modelling as a method to increase the success of the modelling process. METHO...
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...
