Rodrigues, Aristides Miguel da Costa Machado; Mascarenhas, Luís P. G.; Basit, Abdul W.; Pinto, Anabela Mota; Mota, Jorge; Muc, MagdalenaBackground Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce.

Influence of feeding regimens on rat gut fluids and colonic metabolism of diclo...
Vieira, Amélia C. F.; Murdan, Sudaxshina; Serra, Arménio C.; Veiga, Francisco J.; Gonsalves, António M. d’A. Rocha; Basit, Abdul W.Feeding states may affect the performance of colonic prodrugs. The aim is to investigate the influence of feeding regimen in Wistar rats on: (i) distribution and pH contents along the gut and (ii) metabolism of two colonic prodrugs, diclofenac-β-cyclodextrin and a commercially available control, sulfasalazine, within the caecal and colonic contents. Male Wistar rats were subject to four different feeding regime...
