[Exocrine pancreatic function, intestinal resorption and reaction to Vibrio cholerae infection in protein deficiency].
Six Patas monkeys were fed a protein-free diet while 16 animals of the same species receoved a standard monkey diet. The protein-depleted monkeys showed reduced absorption of folic acid but not Dxylose, and 5 out of 6 exhibited depressed exocrine pancreatic function. When challenged with Vibrio cholerae, animals with reduced folic acid absorption and pancreatic enzyme production excreted the micro-organisms for a longer time.
