Previous experiments have shown that a soluble fiber, gum arabic (GA), enhances water, electrolyte, and glucose absorption in animal models of diarrhea. The mechanisms implicated in this effect have not been fully elucidated. This study examined the

Theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine), which is often prescribed to premature infants to treat apnea, acts, in part, by altering the metabolism of cyclic AMP. This second messenger plays a role in signal transduction mediating neutrophil functions, inc

Background Gum arabic, a high–molecular-weight natural polysaccharide, has been shown to have proabsorptive properties in animal models of gastrointestinal disease that involve nitric oxide (NO). Gum arabic may indirectly regulate NO metabolism by

Glucose absorption from the small intestine is largely mediated via the sodium-coupled glucose transporter (SGLT1). The goal of this study was to investigate the ontogenesis of the SGLT1, using the rat as an animal model at three stages of developmen

It has not been determined whether the concentration of essential elements in the meconium of dizygotic twins is indistinguishable or is related to birth weight or placental size differences. We hypothesized that dizygotic twins of discordant size wo

We hypothesized that the competition between zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) during fetal accretion of copper could be discriminated at either the dam-to-placenta or placenta-to-fetus stage. This premise was tested by feeding dams a high Zn diet (1000 mg/k

Copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) metabolism are linked in the haematopoietic process. There is also considerable evidence of a linkage between protein intake and mineral sufficiency. The present study tested the hypothesis that a low protein diet during the

Copper (Cu) placental transport presents a steep downhill gradient from mother to fetus. This process could be altered by low-molecular-weight (LMW) ligands and maternal Cu deficiency. We compared the ratio of Cu transfer from dam-to-fetus in Cu-defi

Previous reports have indicated that newborns react to maternal voice by deceleration of heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR). We examined whether transcutaneously measured blood gases (TcPO2, TcPCO2) as well as HR would be altered by a recordin
