To test the hypothesis that hyperinsulinism is responsible for reduced branched-chain amino acids in cirrhotics, plasma amino acids were sequentially determined in 8 controls and 8 matched cirrhotics during continuous i.v. insulin infusion. An artificial endocrine pancreas which infused glucose was
Free amino acids were measured under postabsorptive conditions in plasma and intracellular water of skeletal muscle obtained by needle biopsy in nine healthy controls and 14 subjects suffering from clinically stable liver cirrhosis. The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine in cirrhotics w
An imbalance of plasma amino acids is observed in patients with advanced cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the extracellular amino acid imbalance on the function of myeloid dendritic cells (DCs) in patients with advanced cirrhosis. We made a serum-free culture medi
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preoperative oral supplementation with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) on postoperative bacteremia after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for chronic liver failure. Two hundred thirty-six patients who underwent adult-to-adult LDLT w
