cholestasis/proline

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of troglitazone (TGZ), an anti-diabetic drug which activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), for liver tissue repair, and the development of ductular reaction, following common bile duct ligation (BDL) in rats. METHODS Rats were

Cholestasis is a leading cause of hepatic accumulation of bile acids resulting in liver injury, fibrosis, and liver failure. Paeoniflorin displays bright prospects in liver protective effect. However, its molecular mechanism has not been well-explored. This study was designed to assess the effects

The aim of the present investigation was to assess in a correlated biochemical and morphological study the dynamics of fibrogenesis after bile duct ligation and to compare the time course of alterations with those occurring in thioacetamide induced liver fibrosis. The data show that, after bile duct

Glucose metabolism and plasma amino acid pattern were investigated in relation to arterial blood ketone body ratio (acetoacetate/3-hydroxybutyrate), which reflects liver mitochondrial redox state, in rabbits subjected to graded hepatectomy (25, 70 and 93%) and 70% hepatectomy with common bile duct

The effects of postoperative infusion of a hypertonic glucose solution on the blood glucose level, blood ketone body ratio (acetoacetate/beta-hydroxybutyrate), and plasma alanine and proline levels were studied in 70% hepatectomized rabbits (group A) and in rabbits 70% hepatectomized and, in

Protein hydrolysate-containing parenteral solutions have been reported to be hepatotoxic. Ten infants who were treated with a 20 percent glucose solution containing either 2.5 percent or 3.25 percent protein hydrolysate are reviewed. Their gestational ages were 30 to 40 weeks and births weights 1000
