Galactosamine Hepatitis, Endotoxemia, and Lactulose [PDF]
Studies by Liehr et al. suggest that endotoxins are important in the pathogenesis of galactosamine hepatitis (Gal–N hepatitis) in rats. Lactulose (9.1 gm per kg per day) prevents hepatic lesions induced by Gal–N; an antiendotoxin effect of lactulose is postulated.

Electric Method for the Desulfation of Polysaccharides From Red Microalgae (Porphyridium cruentum) Cultures. [PDF]
A non‐destructive method for depleting sulfates from the red microalgae Porphyridium cruentum by directly exposing the growth medium to a moderate electric field has been developed. The reported electric‐field separation method is a simple, straightforward, and non‐toxic means for the direct recovery of desulfated polysaccharides from P.
