Carbohydrate Absorption From Fruit Juices in Infants

摘要: Objective. To compare the absorption of carbohydrate in particular from a lower (10 mL/kg −1 ) quantity than that previously tested, white grape juice and pear after single feeding ingestion twice daily for 2 weeks, determine their respective effects on stool water content, healthy infants. Study Participants. Twelve healthy, well-nourished infants, 5 to 9 months age, who were recruited general population. Design/Methods. Infants underwent breath hydrogen test serving juice. Three days later, was repeated randomly assigned receive 10 or weeks. The tests juices same sequence. With second with juice, charcoal marker 20 mg 13 C fructose, stable, nonradioactive isotope, mixed Water content stools compared before 2-week fecal samples analyzed enrichment by mass spectrometry. Results. After fruit juices, only 1 infant had an abnormal peak (H ; ≥10 ppm), which followed That one H levels ppm There no significant difference either at beginning study weeks taking (2.8 ± 2.9 vs 6.2 9, respectively). response intake not significant. Mean (±standard deviation) baseline 3.0 Δ%o (±2.4), significantly different (2.4 [±1.5]), regardless assigned: 2.7 (±1.6) 2.2 (±1.5) percentage 24.1% (±5.1), (22.5% [±6]), received: 21.8% (±5.8) 23.2% (±6.7) Conclusion. When is administered dosage mL/kg/day, well absorbed, produces adverse gastrointestinal symptoms, has effect
