[Concentrations of bile acids in serum, urine and feces in patients with gastrointestinal diseases. Effect of peptide diet in comparison with a normal diet]. / Gallensäuren-Konzentrationen in Serum, Urin und Stuhl bei Patienten mit gastrointestinalen Erkrankungen. Einfluss einer Peptiddiät im Vergleich zur Normalkost.

ABSTRACT

The influence of a peptide diet on the concentration of bile acids in serum, urine and stools of patients with gastro-intestinal diseases was investigated. The concentration of bile acids in the samples from the patient group treated with a peptide diet showed no significant differences to the control group, who received a normal diet. Therefore, it can be ascertained, that a peptide diet, in comparison to a normal diet, has no reducing or stimulating effect on the composition and concentration of bile acids in serum, urine or stools; both parameters, i.e. the composition and concentration of bile acids, remain unchanged.
