11. Our preliminary studies indicate that raised circulating levels of CCK cause degranulation in pancreatic acinar cells. 12. While some studies indicate a direct or indeed no relation between the serum cholesterol concentration and large bowel cancer, others indicate an inverse relation. 13. This Irish study has indicated that most patients with colorectal carcinoma have low serum cholesterol values. 14. Epidemiological studies indicate that the incidence of colon cancer is positively correlated with the dietary intake of fat, and negatively correlated with the intake of calcium. 15. Other studies indicate that loperamide may prolong intestinal transit, normalise intestinal fluid and electrolyte movement, and increase anal sphincter tone. 16. Further studies indicate that these cells are derived of a novel cell lineage. 17. The present study indicates that H pylori infection is not the unknown factor. 18. Recent studies indicate that altered lysosomal function may be involved in the early stages of pancreatic injury. 19. This study indicates that octreotide injections impair postprandial gall bladder contraction for at least four hours. 20. Our study indicates that there is no systematic change in colonic function after cholecystectomy. |
