摘要 |
Compositions comprising monoacylglycerols (MAG), such as sn-1(3) MAG, are administered to an individual having or at risk of malabsorption having a mechanical basis, such as malabsorption associated with a biliary fistula, a biliary obstruction, or short bowel syndrome from bowel surgery (resection) or bariatric surgery. Preferably the compositions are administered concurrently with fat-soluble nutrients. The compositions and the methods of using the compositions enhance absorption of fatty acids and fat-soluble nutrients, such as fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids, to address nutritional deficiencies due to malabsorption having a mechanical basis, such as malabsorption associated with a biliary fistula, a biliary obstruction, or short bowel syndrome from bowel surgery (resection) or bariatric surgery. |
