Abstract
In order to clarify the abnormal micelle formation in various malabsorption syndromes, the analysis of upper intestinal contents after administering a test meal of Borgström et al. was performed. It was demonstrated that the percentage of micellar fat to total fat and lipase concentrations decreased markedly from the normal controls despite of normal concentrations of bile salts and pH in cases of pancreatitis and pancreatectomy. In contrast, it was shown that the percentage of micellar fat was markedly low and the concentrations of conjugated bile salts were reduced in cases of ileal diseases. Unconjugated bile salts were detected although the concentrations of total bile salts were normal in blind-loop syndrome. The correlation between the percentage of micellar fat and lipase concentrations or bile salts concentrations in normal controls and various malabsorption syndromes was also reported.
