  • Early research focused on bile acids, cholesterol, carotene, and vitamin A.
  • Establishment of a Nutrition Laboratory and Clinic facilitated further research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively study sprue, differentiating tropical and non-tropical forms.
  • To investigate the effects of alcohol on small intestine structure and function.
  • To explore nutritional issues in Crohn's disease patients with small bowel involvement.

Main Methods:

  • Vitamin A tolerance testing for malabsorption assessment.
  • Radiologic examination of the small bowel.

Related Experiment Videos
