CYSTIC FIBROSIS Altered tissue distribution in adults with cystic fibrosis
Background: Regional body composition was determined in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). Our hypothesis was that dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning could assess the fat free mass, bone mineral content, and fat mass and determine the distribution of the changes. Method: Height squared indices were derived for fat mass (FMI), fat free mass (FFMI), and bone mineral content (BMCI) of ...
متن کاملRole of vitamin D on gut microbiota in cystic fibrosis.
This review explores the potential for vitamin D to favorably alter the gut microbiota, given emerging evidence of the role of vitamin D in controlling mucosal inflammation in the gut. It will focus on cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, a population with both vitamin D deficiency due to gut malabsorption and an altered gut microbiota composition. Recent evidence shows that vitamin D acts to maintai...

متن کاملMetabolic Alkalosis in Adults with Stable Cystic Fibrosis
BACKGROUND The frequency of metabolic alkalosis among adults with stable severe CF-lung disease is unknown. METHODS Retrospective chart review. RESULTS Fourteen CF and 6 COPD (controls) patients were included. FEV1 was similar between the two groups. PaO2 was significantly higher in the COPD (mean ± 2 SD is 72.0 ± 6.8 mmHg,) than in the CF group (56.1 ± 4.1 mmHg). The frequency of metabolic...
متن کاملOral supplementation with L-glutamine alters gut microbiota of obese and overweight adults: A pilot study.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether oral supplementation with L-glutamine (GLN) modifies the gut microbiota composition in overweight and obese adults. METHODS Thirty-three overweight and obese adults, ages between 23 and 59 y and body mass index between 25.03 and 47.12 kg/m(2), were randomly assigned to receive either oral supplementation with 30 g of L-alanine (ALA grou...
