1985
Hunter, J. O. | Alun Jones, V.
Abstract: This reference work summarizes the present state of knowledge in relation to gastrointestinal physiology and pathology. It discusses the pathophysiology of the gut from such diverse areas as intestinal permeability, gastrointestinal hormones and changes in the microflora. It focuses on the potential effects, both local and systemic, of chemicals such as opioids and nitrosamines produced in the gut, and examines the evidence for the existence of food intolerance and the therapeutic role of diet in a number of gastrointestinal disorders. Illustrations and references are included.
