A Preliminary Study of 13C-Phenylalanine and 13C-Dipeptide Breath Tests in Horses
This study aimed to establish a standard dose and sample collection time for (13)C phenylalanine and (13)C-Dipeptide breath test in horses. To evaluate dose-dependent effects, healthy horses received 2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg (13)C phenylalanine dissolved in 1 ml/kg distilled water and 1.25 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, and 5 mg/kg (13)C dipeptide dissolved in 2 ml/ kg distilled water.

متن کاملThe future of 13C-breath tests.
13C-breath tests are widely applied as a tool to investigate metabolic processes and infectious diseases, but most of them have not yet entered into clinical practice. In order to promote the introduction of more 13C-breath tests into clinical routine application we evaluated the tests so far known with respect to some reasonable criteria, which are valued by one of three marks. The sum sigma o...
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...
