I131 Blood Levels Correlated with Gastric Emptying Determined Radiographically. II. Fat Test Meal

Radioiodinated Triolein in Malabsorption States

“…3). This is in agreement with the findings of Baylin, Sanders, Isley, Shingleton, Hymans, Johnston, and Ruffin (1955) and Beres, Wenger, and Kirsner (1957). McKenna, Bourne, and Matzko (1957) have, however, concluded otherwise, but it is suggested that their experience may have been due to the patient having breakfast before the test meal.…”

Digestive System

“…Baylin et al, (134,135) checked blood radioactivity after feeding normal volunteers either P3l-labeled al bumin or p3l-labeled trioleate to measure protein and fat absorption. The method seemed workable if gastric emptying was checked fluoroscopically.…”

Radioactive Isotopes in Medicine: A Review

“…It is thus expensive, but for ordinary work is not necessary. As a diagnostic test a tracer dose of iodinated triolein is given by mouth and the fraction absorbed obtained by difference after counting the activity excreted in the faeces (Lubran and Pearson, 1958), or blood samples obtained and the plasma activity measured (Baylin, Sanders, Isley, Shingleton, Hymans, Johnston, and Ruffin, 1955;Beres, Wenger, and Kirsner, 1957;McKenna, Bourne, and Matzko, 1957). The former method requires faecal collection with its attendant difficulties, and contamination with urine cannot be allowed due to excretion of iodine after endogenous splitting of fat.…”
