biliary atresia/carbohydrate

Carbohydrate metabolism in 9 infants with biliary atresia (BA) was investigated preoperatively and during the early postoperative period when these infants were on parenteral nutrition for 7 days. Findings were compared with data on infants without liver dysfunction. Changes of plasma glucose,

To determine if liver dysfunction in children affects energy and macronutrient homeostasis, we performed 13 metabolic studies in 11 patients (age, 17.8 +/- 5.9 months [mean +/- SEM]) with extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA). Nutritional balance, indirect calorimetry, anthropometry, and biochemical

Infection of neonatal mice with some reovirus strains produces a disease similar to infantile biliary atresia, but previous attempts to correlate reovirus infection with this disease have yielded conflicting results. We used isogenic reovirus strains T3SA- and T3SA+, which differ solely in the

We determined by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose the carbohydrate variant patterns of alphafetoprotein in the sera of 15 infants and children with endodermal sinus tumors (five cases), a neonatal mature teratoma (one case), hepatoblastomas (two cases), pancreatic carcinoma (one
