Activities of key carbohydrate-metabolizing enzymes were determined on biopsied liver tissues obtained from patients with acute and chronic viral hepatitis and postnecrotic cirrhosis of the liver. The results indicated that the activities of fetal or prototype enzymes, low-Km hexokinases,
BACKGROUND
Despite non absorbable antibiotics and neomycin may have antagonistic effects on intestinal bacterial environment, both have synergistic effects in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy. This could be due to their action on different enteric flora or a neomycin induced carbohydrate
The liver is of prime importance in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Thirty to 60% of the ingested carbohydrates are taken up by the liver, and stored as glycogen. In the fasted state, the liver releases glucose by glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The liver, therefore, acts as a "buffering
Patients with cirrhosis of liver are more prone to have accompanying diabetes mellitus. The present study was conducted to investigate various biochemical parameters in patients with hepatic cirrhosis without diabetes. In these patients blood pyruvate, total bilirubin and globulin levels were
Reduced thermic response after a glucose load has been reported in liver cirrhosis. To determine the mechanism and the site of this phenomenon, the effects of glucose and fructose on energy expenditure (EE) were measured in seven well-nourished cirrhotic patients and in six healthy control subjects.
The protein and carbohydrate contents of red cell membranes from 12 patients with liver cirrhosis were compared to those from 12 normal donors. Protein content was significantly higher and surface sialic acid and neutral hexoses were similar, whereas surface fucose and hexosamine were significantly
In 31 patients with normal liver findings, fatty degeneration of the liver and liver cirrhosis the behaviour of parameters of the carbohydrate metabolism (blood glucose, IRI, lactate, glycogen of liver and muscle) was tested under a two-hour glucose infusion. Accumulation of pathological
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of extra-carbohydrate supplementation before bedtime on energy metabolism and substrate oxidation in patients with liver cirrhosis.
METHODS
Sixteen cirrhotic patients and eight control subjects were included in this study. To
OBJECTIVE
Imbalance of circulating branched chain amino acids (BCAA) versus aromatic amino acids (AAA) and hyperinsulinemia are common metabolic alterations in patients with liver cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to characterize the effect of the carbohydrate component of a protein-rich mixed
It is well established that subjects with liver cirrhosis are insulin resistant, but the contribution of defects in insulin secretion and/or action to glucose intolerance remains unresolved. Healthy individuals and subjects with liver cirrhosis were studied on two occasions: 1) an oral glucose
Basic caloric needs of patients with compensated liver cirrhosis and healthy controls were supplied for 48 h with mixtures of glucose, fructose, sorbite, and xylit. Mixed solutions (20% w/v) containing glucose + fructose (n = 6), glucose + sorbite (n = 36), glucose + xylit (n = 37) in a 1:1 ratio,
Using cytofluorimetric and biochemical methods, the content of glycogen and its labile and stable fractions, as well as activities of glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9), glycogen phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1) and glycogen synthase (EC 2.4.1.11) were determined in the rat liver for 6 months after
Carbohydrate intolerance was investigated in 8 alcoholics with liver cirrhosis and in controls. Indices of carbohydrate metabolism, glucose and insulin levels after glucose loading, were compared with glucose phosphorylating (glucokinase, hexokinase) and releasing (glucose-6-phosphatase) enzymes.
Carbohydrate antigen 50 (CA 50) is a tumor marker that increases in many malignancies, especially in carcinoma of the digestive tract. False-positive results occur in benign liver disease. The behavior of CA 50 in 86 cirrhotic patients was studied, with thorough clinical and laboratory evaluations.
