  2. 1. Bile Acid Induced Diarrhoea Pathophysiological and Clinical Aspects

    Author : Antal Bajor; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Diarrhoea; bile acid transport; bile acid synthesis; 75SeHCAT reproducibility; C4; budesonide; collagenous colitis; in vitro; malabsorption; ASBT; intestinal secretion; potential difference; manometry;

    Abstract : A common cause for referral to gastroenterologists is chronic watery diarrhoea. Approximately 40% of these patients have idiopathic bile acid malabsorption (BAM) ? a condition with unknown aetiology. The 75SeHCAT test, which correlates inversely with faecal excretion and hepatic synthesis of bile acids, is used to diagnose BAM. READ MORE

    Abstract : Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type I (APS) is a monogenous, recessively inherited disease characterised by endocrine and non-endocrine autoimmune manifestations. One fifth of APS I patients suffer from periodic intestinal dysfunction with varying degrees of malabsorbtion, steatorrhea and constipation. READ MORE

The gastrointestinal involvement in the Swedish form of the disease was studied in this investigation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on the phenotype of LXRβ-/- mice : from malabsorption to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    Author : Chiara Gabbi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Liver X Receptors, LXRalpha and LXRbeta (NR1H2) are nuclear receptors belonging to the superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors with a key role in the control of lipid and glucose metabolism. Studies of the phenotype of LXRalpha-/-mice and LXRbeta-/-mice have shown that these nuclear receptors have specific and distinct roles, although they share very high sequence homology (78%).
