Suspensions of isolated epithelial cells (colonocytes) from the human colon were used to
assess utilisation of respiratory fuels which are normally available to the colonic mucosa in …

There is some evidence that failure of fatty acid or beta-oxidation in the epithelium of the
colonic mucosa is associated with the development of ulcerative colitis. We tested the …

Between 50%-80% of sodium absorption in the colonic mucosa is dependent upon CO2
generation from SCFAs derived from the colonic lumen. Lumenal starvation leading to …

Suspensions of isolated colonic epithelial cells (colonocytes) have been obtained from rats
by incubating everted lengths of colon with EDTA at 37 degrees C in Krebs-Henseleit saline …

Substantial amounts of phenols are produced in the human colon by bacterial fermentation
of protein. In the colonic mucosa of animals, phenols are inactivated predominantly by …

Luminal concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFA), ammonia, sodium and potassium
were measured in colonic dialysate of 16 control subjects and in 65 cases with ulcerative …

Conjugation of phenol by the colonic mucosa was assessed in vivo using dialysis tubing
containing 1.5 ml of 1 mmol/l acetaminophen (paracetamol) and 10 mmol/l butyrate. These …

No available test objectively measures impairment of function of the inflamed colonic
mucosa in ulcerative colitis. To study function we assessed rectal bicarbonate output by …

Tissue lipogenesis is variably controlled by substrate supply and hormones. The possibility
that nitric oxide (NO) might regulate lipogenesis derives from the action of NO on coenzyme …

Three patients with plunging ranula, two of which occurred spontaneously and one of which
followed removal of the submandibular gland, were treated by excision of the sublingual …
