title: Diamine oxidase plasma activity and jejunal mucosa integrity in children with protracted diarrhoea.
abstract: The aim of this study was to answer the question whether diamine oxidase (DAO) plasma activity reflects jejunal mucosa integrity in children with protracted diarrhoea. DAO activity was estimated with the radioisotopic method described by Fogel [14]. Postheparin DAO plasma activity was significantly lower in children with jejunal mucosa atrophy compared to control subjects.
