Title: STUDY ON DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION FOLLOWING GASTROINTESTINAL SURGERIES WITH AN APPLICATION OF RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES (WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON CASES OF GASTRIC SURGERIES)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4266525

The digestion and absorption of proteins and fats were studied in patients following radical surgery for carcinoma of the digestive tract. Proteins labeled with phosphorus-32 were synthesized in vivo using goat milk, hen eggs, and intestinal membrane and liver of a dog. Protein labeled with sulfur-35 was obtained from yeast. Amino acid was labeled with carbon-14. Sesame oil labeled with iodine-131 was used as an indicator of fat absorption. The indicators were given orally in test meals. Blood level and fecal and urinary excretion were measured. Procedures are outlined for preparing the labeled indicators. Data are tabulated. (C.H.)
