Does administration of Lactobacillus fermentum CRL1446 increase intestinal feruloyl esterase activity in mice?
Oral administration of Lact. fermentum CRL1446 to mice increases total intestinal FE activity, decreases the basal percentage of plasmatic lipoperoxides and increases GR activity.
Endoscopic balloon dilation is effective in treating early GJ strictures after RYGB. Late strictures are less amenable to endoscopic dilation and often require revisional surgery. Patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal symptoms after RYGB warrant early investigation with UE to investigate for a GJ stricture, which if present, should be promptly dilated.
