Impairment of albumin and whole body postprandial protein synthesis in compensated liver cirrhosis

To investigate the anabolic effects of feeding in cirrhosis, we measured albumin fractional synthesis rate (FSR) and whole body protein synthesis in six nondiabetic patients with stable liver cirrhosis (three in the Child-Puch classification Class A, three in Class B) and in seven normal control sub...

Description
Summary:To investigate the anabolic effects of feeding in cirrhosis, we measured albumin fractional synthesis rate (FSR) and whole body protein synthesis in six nondiabetic patients with stable liver cirrhosis (three in the Child-Puch classification Class A, three in Class B) and in seven normal control subjects, before and after administration of a 4-h mixed meal.
