Sentence examples for gut absorption from inspiring English sources

Gut absorption of microminerals such as zinc or copper can be markedly reduced if the diet has relatively high fibre or phytate content; high dietary calcium can inhibit gastrointestinal iron and zinc absorption25.

Methods: CVID patients underwent tests of gut absorption, peripheral blood mononuclear cell phenotyping, and upper and lower endoscopy for histology and lamina propria mononuclear cell (LPMC) cytokine production.

Recent research applying nanotechnology in biomedicine suggests that the technology might solve problems in areas such as controlled release, various topical administrations, gut absorption and targeted systemic delivery for tissue regeneration.

It has been suggested that people who suffer from impaired masticatory function may adapt food consistency to their oral status (which may lead to deficient nutrient intake) or rely on the digestive system to compensate for the lack of oral preparation of food (which may increase the likelihood of digestive diseases and decrease gut absorption).

Poor gut absorption of orally administered loop diuretics, decreased delivery to molecular targets, low serum albumin, renal tubular hypertrophy, and circulating organic acids inhibiting the organic anion transporter all lead to a diminished effect of diuretics, resulting in impaired urinary sodium excretion [7].

Cooper says that these vitamin deficiencies could hint at the root causes for participants' migraines: "The finding of several vitamin deficiencies in patients with migraine suggests an underlying gut absorption issue, most likely related to inflammation".

55 To overcome the problem of not reaching the target dose by the enteral route, and the possibility of altered gut-absorption capacity, a number of trials investigated the effect of intravenous glutamine supplementation in patients receiving enteral nutrition.

It is possible in experiments such as these that compounds not actively transported might be absorbed at a much slower rate than actively transported D-glucose, but over the entire length of the intestine and the extended time of digesta residence in the gut their absorption could still be fairly complete, implying a similar absorption rate to that of D-glucose [22].

In GDMpreg, OGTT gut glucose absorption is markedly lower during hyperglycemia, whereas both glycemia and glucose absorption in NGTpreg are comparable between pregnant and postpartum states.

The study showed that abomasal oligofructose infusion decreased the total amount of urea-N transferred from the blood to the gut, NH3 absorption, and arterial blood urea-N concentration.

Additionally, low vitamin D levels decrease gut phosphorus absorption, as vitamin D acts on intestinal epi-thelial cells to increase intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and hence may be associated with hyperphosphatemia [ 46].
