How can you use “ileal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Untreated children and adults with cystic fibrosis excrete amounts of fecal bile acids similar to patients with ileal resections [ 20 21 ] . Based on kinetic studies, this increased fecal loss appears to be secondary to an interrupted enterohepatic circulation of bile acids [ 20 21 ] . Bile acid malabsorption in cystic fibrosis appears to be due in part to diminished secretion of pancreatic enzymes and the presence of un-hydrolyzed triglycerides.
In contrast, cftr (-/-) mice may experience bile acid malabsorption even though their ileal mucosal cells express four-fold more IBAT transporters than normal cells.
In summary, in the widely studied cftr knockout mouse model (which clearly demonstrates intestinal pathology), the apical sodium dependent ileal bile acid transporter is expressed and functions at higher levels than in wild-type animals, with intermediate levels of IBAT expression and function in heterozygous cftr (+/-) mice.
These unusual changes were never found in any jejunal samples and occurred only occasionally as weak signals in ileal samples from wild-type animals.
The ileal segments from 7-8 cm and 0-1 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve, respectively, from each animal were pooled and used for Western blots.
