  • Title: [Effect of fats on the emptying function of the gastric stump and small intestine in patients after gastrectomy by the Billroth II method].
    Author: Saakia AR, Dobzhanidze DN.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1989; 61(2):49-51. PubMed ID: 2727920.
    Abstract:
    The influence of the preliminary fat intake on the rate of contrast capsules administered with semolina porridge and morning breakfast evacuation from the gastric stump and small intestine was studied in 39 patients with gastric resection according to Billroth II by means of the x-ray method suggested for quantitation of evacuatory function of the gastrointestinal tract. It is established that the preliminary intake of fat promoted a statistically significant deceleration of gastric stump emptying of the capsules and of the time of their supply to the cecum and colon regardless of the food amount and caloric value. It is suggested that in conditions of excluded food passage via the duodenum the suppression of evacuatory function of the gastric stump and small intestine is mediated by intestinal hormones (enteroglucagon, neurotensin and gastrin-inhibiting polypeptide) released from endocrine cells of the small intestinal mucosa under the effect of fat hydrolysis products.
