Polyethylene glycol 4000 as a continuously administered non-absorbable faecal marker for metabolic balance studies in human subjects.
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of polyethylene glycol 4000 as a non-absorbable, continuously fed faecal marker is described. The intestinal handling and transit of polyethylene glycol is compared with that of chromium sesquioxide and barium sulphate. Polyethylene glycol is an acceptable non-absorbable faecal marker for calcium, phosphorus, and fatty acids, and has several features which commend its use in preference to insoluble chromium sesquioxide and barium sulphate particularly when marking water-soluble dietary constituents.

Markers for faecal fat estimation in monitoring steatorrhoea in cystic fibrosis.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 is one of numerous substances used as non-absorbable markers to correct for variable faecal output when assessing daily faecal losses of nutrients. The introduction of enteric coated micro-encapsulated pancreatic enzyme (EMPE) preparations has greatly improved the control of fat malabsorption in cystic fibrosis and chronic pancreatitis patients. Unfortunately, the...
متن کاملAn infrared spectrophotometric method of estimating polyethylene glycol 4000.
In studies of intestinal absorption non-absorbed markers are used to indicate changes in volume of the contents of the bowel. Polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000), a popular marker, has been shown to fulfil the criteria of a volume indicator (Hyden, 1956b; Jacobson, Bondy, Broitman, and Fordtran, 1963; Maddrey, Serebro, Marcus, and Iber, 1967; Shields, Harris, and Davies, 1968). The concentratio...
متن کاملIntermittent and continuous faecal markers in short-term metabolic balance studies in young women.
I The continuous faecal marker chromic oxide, Cr,O,, and the intermittent marker brilliant blue were used together in metabolic balance studies of calcium and magnesium in two young women. 2. Faecal output was derived by four methods: no marker, brilliant blue, Cr,Os, or both brilliant blue and Cr,Os. 3. Balances of Ca and Mg derived by the four methods of obtaining faecal output were compared....
متن کاملHuman plasma derived drugs separation by fractionation of plasma with polyethylene glycol
Background: There are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. There are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. Ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consu...

The effects of atrial natriuretic peptide were investigated on water and electrolyte transport in the human jejunum. Six healthy male volunteers (aged 21-33 years) were studied using a triple lumen perfusion technique. A plasma like electrolyte solution containing polyethylene glycol (5 milligrams) as a non-absorbable marker was perfused into the jejunum at 10 ml/min, and net water and electrol...
