[Oral glucose tolerance test with a mixture of oligosaccharides after partial gastrectomy (author's transl)]. 1976

R Wepler, and K Rommel

Fourteen non-diabetic male patients undergoing partial gastrectomy for ulcer disease were investigated with oral glucose tolerance test using a 100 g mixture of oligosaccharides. Partial gastrectomy had been performed between 1 and 3 years ago. Compared to seven healthy male control subjects, patients had significant higher blood glucose levels at 30 and 60 min and a more rapid descent, so that at 120 and 180 min no differences were found between patients and control subjects. With the usual criteria (blood glucose levels at 120 and 180 min) the non-diabetic patients with partial gastrectomy showed normal test results.

D009844	Oligosaccharides	Carbohydrates consisting of between two (DISACCHARIDES) and ten MONOSACCHARIDES connected by either an alpha- or beta-glycosidic link. They are found throughout nature in both the free and bound form.	Oligosaccharide
D010437	Peptic Ulcer	Ulcer that occurs in the regions of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT which come into contact with GASTRIC JUICE containing PEPSIN and GASTRIC ACID. It occurs when there are defects in the MUCOSA barrier. The common forms of peptic ulcers are associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI and the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
