Summary: | Qualitative and quantitative alterations in ileal flora during obstructive jaundice and the role of bile salts were evaluated in rats. Obstructive jaundice was associated with bacterial overgrowth in the ileum. This effect may be due to the reduced concentration of bile salts, since dietary supplementation reduced the small bowel aerobic bacterial flora.
As alterações qualitativas e quantitativas da flora ileal na obstrução biliar e o papel dos sais biliares foram avaliados em ratos. Em animais com obstrução biliar houve aumento da população ileal. Esse efeito é provavelmente causado pela ausência de sais biliares no lúmen ileal, uma vez que em animais cuja dieta foi suplementada com sais biliares houve redução da flora ileal. |
