STUDIES IN STEATORRHEA

[摘要] Metabolic observations were carried out in three patients with "idiopathic" celiac disease and three patients with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas at different levels of fat intake.It was found that fat absorption remained proportional to fat intake even at high levels. Increasing the intake thus led to improved absorption.Deleterious clinical or metabolic effects were not encountered with one possible minor exception.The implications of these observations are discussed.
