TY - JOUR T1 - The influence of diet on the quality of faecal fat in patients with and without steatorrhoea JF - Gut JO - Gut SP - 37 LP - 41 DO - 10.1136/gut.4.1.37 VL - 4 IS - 1 AU - Joan P. W.

Large amounts of non-dietary fatty acids have been identified in the faeces both of patients with and without steatorrhoea. These have been identified as a number of isomers of oleic acid and hydroxystearic acids, particularly 10-hydroxystearic acid. ER -
