The effect of portacaval transposition on carbohydrate metabolism: Experimental and clinical observations [PDF]
An investigation was conducted of the influence of portacaval transposition upon carbohydrate metabolism in 45 dogs. In 17 dogs, hepatic glycogen content was measured before and from 45 to 75 days after transposition.

Maximizing efficiency of rumen microbial protein production. [PDF]
Rumen microbes produce cellular protein inefficiently partly because they do not direct all ATP toward growth. They direct some ATP toward maintenance functions, as long-recognized, but they also direct ATP toward reserve carbohydrate synthesis and ...

LIVER TRANSPLANTATION FOR TYPE I GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISEASE [PDF]
A 16½-year-old girl with type I glycogen storage disease was treated by orthotopic liver transplantation under cyclosporin/steroid immunosuppression. All metabolic stigmata of the disease were relieved and 1 year postoperatively she follows a normal diet

The influence of portal blood upon lipid metabolism in normal and diabetic dogs and baboons [PDF]
It has been reported that hyperlipidemia can be alleviated in human beings with an end to side portacaval shunt. Understanding the mechanism of the effect has important implications, including the possibility of devising other ways of lowering serum ...

Deficiency of ASGR1 Alleviates Diet-Induced Systemic Insulin Resistance via Improved Hepatic Insulin Sensitivity [PDF]
Background Insulin resistance (IR) is the key pathological basis of many metabolic disorders. Lack of asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) decreased the serum lipid levels and reduced the risk of coronary artery disease.
