[Comparative characteristics of biliary lipids in celiac disease and chronic enteritis]
Abstract:
The lipid components of duodenal contents (DC) and of gallbladder bile (GB), i.e. bile acids, phospholipids, and neutral lipids, as well as the fatty-acid composition of common lipids in celiac disease and chronic enteritis (CEN) were found, in the course of this study, to be specific and to differ between themselves to a great extent. The determination of the ratio of indices for 16:0 and 18:1 fatty acids and level 20:4 of an acid in the composition of common lipids of DC and GB could be used as a criteria in the differential diagnosis of celiac disease and CEN.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

These breakdown products bind with bile salts and lecithin to form micelles, which quickly pass between microvilli to come in close contact with the apical...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
