[Glucose tolerance in alcoholic hepatitis. Studies preceding and following alcohol abstinence].

In 51 patients with alcohol-induced liver injury glucose tolerance and insulin incretion were followed under alcohol abstinence over a period of 4 weeks. In 63% of the cases a pathologic glucose tolerance was found at the beginning. After 4 weeks, when the biochemical liver parameter had become normal, glucose tolerance also returned to normal.

[The behavior of glucose tolerance, serum insulin and C-peptide in acute viral hepatitis].

On 35 patients with acute hepatitis had been carried out intravenous glucose-tolerance-tests (0,5 g glucose/kg). The assimilation coefficient of glucose and the level of insulin were determined during the acute phase of illness and the recovery phase. In 8 cases additionally C-peptide was determined to interpret the regulation of insulin-secretion and hepatic reduction.

[Incorporation of free glycerol during re-esterification of absorbed long-chain triglycerides].

Incorporation of 14C-glycerol in absorbed LCT (via glycerophosphate) was measured in 16 volunteers. 1. Supplied orally, 14C-incorporation was about 8-times higher than after i.
