Enteric Physiology of the Transplanted IntestineThis text reviews the effects of intestinal transplantation on the enteric physiology of the gut. The book discusses the rationale, significance and history of small intestinal transplantation and experimental models. It presents detailed work published on several aspects of gut function after intestinal transplantation, including motility, absorption/secretion, proximal gut function (gastric emptying/secretion, pancreatic enteric function, bile salt secretion, and lymphatic transection and regeneration). A brief discussion of how immune rejection and immunosuppression alters enteric function is also presented. |
