What's the difference between chyme and food?

Chyme


Definition:

  • (n.) The pulpy mass of semi-digested food in the small intestines just after its passage from the stomach. It is separated in the intestines into chyle and excrement. See Chyle.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) Chronic experiment on these dogs has revealed that this operation: has no effect on frequency and amplitude of intestine contractions during the first phase of the digestive process but it is accompanied by significant relaxation of the motor intestine activity in the second phase, causes a retardation of the rate of evacuation from stomach by 56.0% in dogs subjected to extragastric vagotomy as well as pH of chyme in the duodenum by 1-1.5 units above the norm.
  • (6) The Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy is useful for patients with dumping, because it slows gastric emptying and the transit of chyme through the Roux limb.
  • (7) These inquiline species are not immunogenic, or at least only slightly so, since they do not feed upon the host itself but upon its intestinal chyme.

  • (9) The optimal conditions of nutrient assimilation were revealed, using highly caloric mixtures with basic nutrient content and poly-, oligo- and monomer rations proportional to chyme.
  • (10) Thus, we demonstrated that in healthy subjects, ileocolonic transfer of chyme occurs in boluses; this transfer is impaired in patients with myopathic pseudo-obstruction.
  • (11) The mucosa of excised pieces of jejunum of fasting rats was exposed for 10 min to fresh chyme obtained from other rats which had been digesting either buttered bread or bread alone.
  • (12) Improvement of fat malabsorption is attained by using a pancreatic enzyme supplement consisting of pH-sensitive, enteric-coated microspheres (microsphere preparations) that prevent enzyme degradation in the stomach and travel with the chyme to the small intestine.
  • (13) The possibility of ascertaining the chyme flow directly (by total collection) or indirectly (with an inert marker) is described.
  • (14) Gradual increase in concentration of the main NSs occurs in the advancing chyme.
  • (15) Trypsin outputs were similar whether or not jejunal chyme was diverted.
  • (16) The content of pepsinogen in the gastric mucosa and acid phosphatase activity in the gastric chyme are adaptively altered in animals with change from natural to artificial feeding.
  • (17) The percent of fed spheres and fed 99mTc-labeled liver in each collection was counted, and liquid chyme was returned to the distal duodenum.
  • (18) In the complete chyme as well as in all fractions the crude protein and amino acid contents were determined.
  • (19) For the rats with 30 cm crossed segments, the rat that lost intestinal chyme into its partner ate 3.6 times as much food as did its partner for a period of many months.
  • (20) The carbohydrates of peas did not affect the ileal digestibility of protein, although the ileal chyme was more loose.

Food


Definition:

  • (n.) What is fed upon; that which goes to support life by being received within, and assimilated by, the organism of an animal or a plant; nutriment; aliment; especially, what is eaten by animals for nourishment.
  • (n.) Anything that instructs the intellect, excites the feelings, or molds habits of character; that which nourishes.
  • (v. t.) To supply with food.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) An automated continuous flow sample cleanup system intended for rapid screening of foods for pesticide residues in fresh and processed vegetables has been developed.
  • (2) After 55 days of unrestricted food availability the body weight of the neonatally deprived rats was approximately 15% lower than that of the controls.
  • (3) First, it has diverted grain away from food for fuel, with over a third of US corn now used to produce ethanol and about half of vegetable oils in the EU going towards the production of biodiesel.
  • (4) Issues such as healthcare and the NHS, food banks, energy and the general cost of living were conspicuous by their absence.
  • (5) In the clinical trials in which there was complete substitution of fat-modified ruminant foods for conventional ruminant products the fall in serum cholesterol was approximately 10%.
  • (6) Pint from £2.90 The Duke Of York With its smart greige interior, flagstone floor and extensive food menu (not tried), this newcomer feels like a gastropub.
  • (7) Size of household was the most important predictor of both the total level of household food expenditures and the per person level.
  • (8) It is not that the concept of food miles is wrong; it is just too simplistic, say experts.
  • (9) This suggests that hypothalamic NPY might be involved in food choice and that PVNp is important in the regulation of feeding behaviour by NPY.
  • (10) They urged the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to make air quality a higher priority and release the latest figures on premature deaths.
  • (11) A relative net reduction of 47% in lactose malabsorption was produced by adding food, and the peak-rise in breath H2 was delayed by 2 hours.
  • (12) A sensitive, specific procedure was developed for detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 in food in less than 20 h. The procedure involves enrichment of 25 g of food in 225 ml of a selective enrichment medium for 16 to 18 h at 37 degrees C with agitation (150 rpm).
  • (13) It was concluded that B. pertussis infection-induced hypoglycaemia was secondary to hyperinsulinaemia, possibly caused by an exaggerated insulin secretory response to food intake.
