Stable isotope breath tests for assessing gastric emptying: A comprehensive review.
A stable isotope ([(13)C]) breath test is a promising method for assessing gastric emptying, but it has not been pervasive yet in Japan. We think that there are some barriers to its popularization, including the uncertainty concerning its theoretical backgrounds, the ambiguity of analyzing and interpreting the data, and the lack of standard protocols for breath sampling. The aim of the present ...
متن کاملC carbohydrate breath tests
In paediatric practice proper digestion of carbohydrates is of major importance for adequate growth and development and for prevention of intestinal complaints. Several carbohydrates can be considered in this respect: (a) lactose: the main carbohydrate in the nutrition of early life and also in later life for many white people; (b) starch: the main energy supplier in our food; (c) fructose: a c...
متن کاملAdenosine level in exhaled breath increases during exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
In asthmatic patients, airway obstruction provoked by exercise challenge is accompanied by an increase in plasma adenosine level. In this study, the current authors investigated if exercise-induced bronchoconstriction was associated with local changes of adenosine concentration in the airways. Oral exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collection (5-min duration) and forced expiratory volume in one s...
متن کاملAssociations between partitioning of carboxylase activity and bundle sheath leakiness to C02, carbon isotope discrimination, photosynthesis, and growth in sugarcane
Genetic and environmental variation in carbon isotope discrimination (A), photosynthetic gas exchange, growth and activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) were studied in four sugarcane clones grown under three different irrigation regimes for 65 d in a greenhouse. A of the uppermost fully expanded leaf increased with decreasing ir...
متن کاملCarbon isotope fractionation in bacterial production of methane.
Anaerobic bacteria from a Pacific Ocean mud cause unusually large carbon isotope fractionations during fermentation of methanol. The methane produced is about 8 percent enriched in C(12), relative to the original methanol. Fractionation factors determined at 30 degrees C and 23 degrees C were 1.081 and 1.094, respectively, which indicates that this process is dependent on temperature.
