“…Higher than normal plasma propranolol concentrations have been reported in coeliac disease (Parsons et al, 1976;Schneider et al, 1976), Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis (Schneider et al, 1979). Explanations which have been offered include increased absorption of the drug, improved bioavailability due to a reduction in 'first-pass' metabolism across the liver, or a change in the distribution volume of the drug.…”

“…Marked variations in serum levels of a number of therapeutic agents have been dem onstrated in patients with both Crohn's dis ease and coeliac disease (1)(2)(3)(4). This has been documented in subjects with demonstrable malabsorption (3) and also in subjects whose mucosa and absorptive function appeared normal (1,2).…”

“…The mechanism of action of prednisolone is controversial (7), but a sys temic rather than a topical effect seems likely. In Crohn's disease there is evidence for a widespread mucosal abnormality (8) and pre vious studies have shown changes in drug serum levels even in the absence of 'typical' Crohn's involvement of the upper small bowel (4).…”

“…The effect of increased binding on the pharmacokinetics of these drugs has been evaluated in several studies. After oral administration the serum concentrations of propranolol and oxprenolol are higher when inflammation is present, in man (Schneider et al, 1976;Kendall et al, 1979) as well as in animals (Belpaire et al, 1981;Bishop et al, 1981;Barber et al, 1983). After intravenous administration, there is still a difference between serum concentrations of the P-adrenoceptor blockers in healthy and diseased individuals, in man (De Leve & Piafsky, 1981;Waller et al, 1982) and experimental animals (Belpaire et al, 1981;Bishop et al, 1981;Barber et al, 1983), but it is less pronounced.…”
