Diet/Growth Factor Mechanisms of Gut Adaptation - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Emory University
Collaborator:	National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
Information provided by:	Emory University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00067860

Purpose

This is a double-blind randomized controlled study on the clinical and metabolic effects and underlying gut mucosal mechanisms of modified diet, with or without recombinant human growth hormone, in adults with severe short bowel syndrome dependent upon parenteral nutrition. Clinical endpoints include ability to wean patients from parenteral feeding, metabolic endpoints include gut nutrient absorptive function and molecular endpoints include expression of growth factors and nutrient transporters in small bowel and colonic mucosa. The 6-month study is performed, in part, in the General Clinical Research Center for inpatient stays and outpatient visits.
