[Influence of partial hepatectomie on ammoniumdetoxications function of liver at chronic tetrachlorcarbon hepatitis].

The purpose. To study the effect of partial hepatectomy (PH) on the main ways of ammonia detoxication in the liver (synthesis of urea and glutamine) in chronic tetrachlorcarbon (CCl4) hepatitis. Methods.

[Urea formation in the after operational liver].

The effect of resection of the left lobe of the liver (LR, 15-20% og the organ weight) on hepatic urea formation was investigated in 84 albino rats. The objects of study were the surgery left (LLP), inoperable middle (MLP) lobe of the liver, blood (aorta, v. hepatica, v.

Effect of Liver Damage and Hyperbaric Oxygenation on Glutamine Synthetase of Hepatocytes.

Activity of glutamine synthetase in the hepatocytes of healthy animals and animals with chronic CCl4-induced hepatitis was studied on white mature female rats after liver resection (15-20% of organ weight) and hyperbaric oxygenation (3 atm, 50 min, 3 times). Surgically operated left and non-operated middle lobes of the liver were analyzed on day 3 after liver resection and exposure to hyperbaric oxygenation. On day 65 of CCl4 poisoning, activity of glutamine synthetase decreased in both lobes and did not recover on day 3 after toxin cessation.

[Kinetics of nitrogenous metabolites in the kidney during chronic tetrachloromethane hepatitis].

The kinetics of ammonia, glutamine, and urea in the kidney has been studied in experiments on 203 white rats (females) at the end of chronic tetrachloromethane (CCl4) exposure (65 days) and within 14 days after cessation of CCl4. It was found that on the 65th day of CCl4 administration the arterial hyperammoniemia is formed, which lasts for 14 days after the abolition of the toxin. This is accompanied by an increased excretion of ammonia in the urine and an increase in its concentration in the blood of renal veins, which does not prevent its accumulation in renal tissue.

Phosphate-dependent glutaminase response to liver injury and hyperbaric oxygenation.

Activity of phosphate-dependent glutaminase was determined in hepatocytes of white female rats, both in healthy animals and in rats with chronic CCl4-hepatitis on day 3 after liver resection and hyperbaric oxygenation. In healthy animals, activity of phosphate-dependent glutaminase was not altered after hepatic resection, but it was elevated in animals with chronic CCl4-hepatitis. Hyperbaric oxygenation inhibited activity of hepatocytic phosphate-dependent glutaminase in non-operated healthy rats but stimulated it after hepatic resection.
