Abstract excerpt
Most cystic fibrosis (CF) patients show an exocrine pancreatic insufficiency that results in lower enzyme and bicarbonate secretion. To test whether an altered function of nutrient transporters might additionally attribute to the lower bodyweight of CF patients we investigated electrogenic absorption of alanine, glycyl-glutamine, glucose and the effect of pH on nutrient absorption by Ussing chambers in a CF mouse...
