Radioisotope determination of fat absorption. 1978

T I Hale

A diagnostic method is presented for the quantitative determination of fat absorption. The method utilizes breath analysis of radioactive 14CO2 and involves the measurement of both the fat and fatty acid absorption curves, whereby the fat absorption curve is directly compared to the fatty acid absorption curve for a particular patient. The test results are standardized by fitting all measurements to a gamma-density function.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007408 Intestinal Absorption Uptake of substances through the lining of the INTESTINES. Absorption, Intestinal
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
