Rhamnose

06/01/1998 - "Ten patients (5 females; mean age, 33 +/- 2 years) with ileocolonic Crohn's disease who underwent elective ileocolic resections had bowel permeability measured preoperatively and postoperatively by the relative urinary clearance of orally consumed lactulose and rhamnose. "
09/01/1987 - "Improvement of abnormal lactulose/rhamnose permeability in active Crohn's disease of the small bowel by an elemental diet."
10/01/1989 - "The inability of lactulose, rhamnose, or mannitol to detect permeability abnormalities in healthy relatives of patients with Crohn's disease suggests that these probes penetrate the intestinal barrier by routes or mechanisms that are different from those of polyethylene glycol 400. "
10/01/1989 - "To determine whether the abnormal permeability is uniquely detectable by polyethylene glycol 400, we studied the intestinal permeability of three new probes (lactulose, rhamnose, and mannitol) in 25 patients with Crohn's disease, 41 of their healthy relatives, and 29 normal controls without a family history of inflammatory bowel disease. "
03/01/1992 - "Patients with Crohn's disease (n = 28) and 32 first degree relatives from 11 families underwent a polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400) intestinal permeability test and a hyperosmotic (1500 mosmol/l) absorption/permeability test using 3-0-methyl-D-glucose, D-xylose, L-rhamnose, lactulose, and 51chromium labelled ethylenediamine-tetraacetate. "

04/01/1986 - "A test of intestinal mucosal function which utilizes the differential permeability of L-rhamnose and lactulose has been reported to be helpful in the diagnosis of gluten-sensitive enteropathy. "
03/01/1988 - "Intestinal permeability to lactulose/L-rhamnose in children with celiac disease and other gastrointestinal disorders."
12/01/2003 - "The rhamnose, lactulose and sucrose as the lactulose/rhamnose ratio clearly differentiated 25 healthy controls from 36 patients with active gluten-sensitive enteropathy. "
12/01/2003 - "As it is important to test gastric and intestinal permeability simultaneously in gastrointestinal disorders such as Celiac disease, we developed a gas-chromatographic (GC) method to estimate rhamnose (L-rh), lactulose (Lacl) and sucrose (Suc) in urine. "

08/01/1994 - "In particular, polysaccharides in which the rhamnose content exceeded 60% were more effective in healing gastric ulcers. "

11/01/2004 - "Flatulence was significantly greater after lactulose and l-rhamnose than after d-glucose (P < 0.0001), an effect that lasted 4 wk with lactulose but only 1 wk with l-rhamnose. "

12/01/2008 - "Both, the renal clearance of melibiose and the urinary melibiose/rhamnose ratio remained uninfluenced by cholestasis. "
12/01/2008 - "Increased melibiose/rhamnose ratio in bile of rats with acute cholestasis."
