Leucine and Glucose Turnover in Chronic Alcoholics During Early Abstinence and After an Ethanol Load (1993)We studied leucine turnover using a primed infusion of [1‐14C]‐l‐leucine and glucose turnover using a primed infusion of [6‐3H]‐d‐glucose in five alcoholic patients without liver damage and five age‐matched controls. ...
-
(1998)Alcohol ingestion decreases plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) and lipid oxidation. This study was conducted to determine palmitate turnover in alcoholics during a short abstinence period and after an ethanol load and in a ...
-
(2008)Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) has had a positive impact on co-morbidities associated with obesity. However, in the long-term it can induce micronutrient deficiencies. Aim: To perform a complete nutritional ...

-
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 1995)We measured suprahepatic vein and arterial partial oxygen pressure in 35 alcoholics with severe (N=7) or mild (N=28) histological liver damage and without evidence of clinical liver failure. The suprahepatic vein was ...
-
(2011)Background: The WHOQOL-BREF is a generic questionnaire to measure quality of life created by the Study Group on Quality of Life of the World Health Organization. Aim: To adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of ...
