Abstract

The effects of Clonorchis sinensis, Hymenolepis nana and Toxocara canis infection on fat absorption in the intestine were studied. For this purpose, I131-Triolein was given to the animals which were infected by those parasites, and amounts of the excretion in the feces were counted and following results were obtained. In the Clonorchis sinensis infected group, the excretion of Triolein was increased to 4. 10~4.49% compared with that of the control group. In the Hymenolepis nana infected group, the excretion of Triolein was increased to 4~5% compared with that of control group. In the Toxocara canis infected group, the excretion was about twice as much as that of the control group. It is concluded that parasite infection in digestive system diminishes fat absorption in gastrointestinal tract of the host.
