Environmental Enteric Dysfunction Is Associated With Poor Linear Growth and Can Be Identified by Host Fecal mRNAs
25 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) can be assessed by the lactulose:mannitol (L:M) test. Our objective was to determine if selected host fecal transcripts were correlated with EED, and whether transcripts and clinical characteristics could be used to predict EED in rural African children. METHODS: Demographic and sanitation characteristics, along with L:M testing and host fecal transcript analyses...
