  5. 18. Quantitation of gluconeogenesis in humans

    Author : Karin Ekberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Gluconeogenesis; mass isotopomer distribution analysis; deuteratedwater; hexamethylenetetramine; splanchnic and renal glucose production;

    Abstract : Several methods have been introduced for estimating gluconeogenesis, but none provides a direct measurement without assumptions that condition the accuracy of the estimate. The aim of this work has been to develop a new method for quantitative studies of gluconeogenesis, applicable in humans. READ MORE

  6. 19. Vasopressors and intestinal mucosal perfusion. Studies in cardiac surgical and critically ill patients

    Author : Andreas Nygren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During trauma, surgery and critically illness, splanchnic ischemia and reperfusion damage maythreaten the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa, leading to bacterial translocation, immuneactivation and subsequent development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Detection,prevention and treatment of intestinal mucosal hypoperfusion are therefore important forprevention of complications in critically ill patients. READ MORE
