To compare postprandial plasma hormone levels (Glp-1, ghrelin), fasted mice were gavaged with 250 µl of mixed-meal-containing liquid diet (Osmolite HiCal, Abbott) supplemented with dextrose at 20% (wt/v) (Sigma-Aldrich). Blood was collected 10 min after the mixed-meal bolus either...
The third muscle biopsy will be taken 24 hours after the end of surgery at approximately the same time as the second glucose tolerance test. All muscle biopsies will be snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C before transport to the muscle physiology laboratory for analysis. ...
Objective: To assess healing of a colonic anastomosis and the preoperative oral administration of polyethylenglycol and sodium phosphate, and a liquid diet.
