[The dynamic functional-morphological changes in the small intestine of obese patients undergoing weight-reducing diet therapy].

Two groups of pathogenetic mucosal changes peculiar to fasting period were revealed in 28 obese patients: a structural rearrangement of mucosa with inhibition of mitotic activity of epithelial crypts, and the inflammatory responses manifested by increased cellular infiltration of stroma and compensatory-adaptive changes of capillary bed structures. The adequate dietotherapy provided full recovery of the mucosa tissue parameters on the 26th day.
