Popis: The aim of this study was to test the possibility that T supplementation could increase the absorption of a FMT in CF. In a cross-over design study four CF patients (12.1±2.6 yrs) and 3 controls received placebo (P) or T (30 mg/kg/j) for two 1-week periods a month apart, followed by a FMT (51 g/1.73 m2 of triglycerides (TG) containing 60% of 18:2). Blood samples were drawn at 0,1,2,3,5,8 hrs. Tabulated results are expressed as the change in total TG (Δ % = peak increase), as TG area under the curve (AUC = mg·h/dl) and as the total amount of C 18:2 (mg %). The difference of TG-AUC on and off T in CF was significantly (p
