Luminal events of lipid absorption in protein-calorie malnourished children; relationship with nutritional recovery and diarrhea. I. Capacity of the duodenal content to …
RE Schneider, FE Viteri - The American journal of clinical nutrition, 1974 - Elsevier
Fat absorption and the capacity of the duodenal content to achieve micellar solubilization of
lipids were studied longitudinally in 18 severely protein-calorie malnourished (PCM)
children on admission and at different stages of nutritional recovery, as well as in the
presence or absence of diarrhea. Four healthy children were studied as controls. It was
found that micellar lipid (ML) and fat absorption were abnormally low in PCM children and
that both improved, reaching normal values with nutritional recovery. Diarrhea hampered …
