Studies in Coeliac Disease: Fat Absorption

Studies in coeliac disease; fat absorption.

Reasons were given in 1948 (Sheldon) for thinking that in coeliac children starch intolerance might be of greater etiological significance than a failure to absorb the products of fat digestion. In a later communication (Sheldon, 1949), from a study of fat balances in a group of fifteen children with coeliac disease, it was concluded that withdrawal of starch from the diet was accompanied by a ...

Studies in coeliac disease; glucose absorption.

A consecutive series of 46 children suffering from coeliac disease presented an opportunity to study various aspects of this strange condition. The beneficial effect upon fat absorption resulting from a withdrawal of starch from the diet has already been described (Sheldon, 1949), while in a later communication (Sheldon and MacMahon, 1949) the failure to produce a similar response in pancreatic...

Iron absorption in coeliac disease of childhood and adolescence.

Absorption of propranolol and practolol in Coeliac disease.

Plasma concentrations of propranolol and practolol were measured in patients with coeliac disease and normal subjects. The mean plasma propranolol concentration in the coeliac patients was higher throughout the period of study, the differences being significant at one, six, and eight hours. The plasma concentration profile of practolol in the coeliacs followed a similar pattern but lagged behin...

Amino acid and peptide absorption in patients with coeliac disease.

A double-lumen perfusion technique has been used to study amino acid and peptide absorption in eight normal control subjects, 13 patients with untreated adult coeliac disease, and 16 patients with dermatitis herpetiformis who had varying morphological abnormalities of the small bowel. All subjects were perfused with isotonic solutions containing 10 mM glycyl-L-alanine and 10 mM glycine + 10 mM ...
