title: The stability of the radiotriolein bond in intestinal secretions.
abstract: The radiotriolein test has been reported to be unreliable in the diagnosis of steatorrhoea. A possible explanation is provided by these studies in which labelled triolein was incubated in human gastric juice, duodenal juice, and faeces; the bond was not stable on duodenal juice.
