Effects of Branched-Chain-Enriched Amino Acid Solution on Insulin and Glucagon Secretion and Blood Glucose Level in Liver Cirrhosis

Effects of Branched-Chain-Enriched Amino Acid Solution on Insulin and Glucagon Secretion and Blood Glucose Level in Liver Cirrhosis

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether therapeutically used branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) solution influences glucose metabolism in liver cirrhosis (LC). Methods: BCAAs solution (200 ml) was infused in LC patients at different stages, and plasma concentrations of glucose and...

Zusammenfassung:Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether therapeutically used branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) solution influences glucose metabolism in liver cirrhosis (LC). Methods: BCAAs solution (200 ml) was infused in LC patients at different stages, and plasma concentrations of glucose and pancreatic hormones were determined. Results
