Glucose turnover at whole-body and skeletal muscle level in response to parenteral nutrition in male patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis.

Glucose kinetics at whole-body and skeletal muscle level in patients with cirrhosis were studied during parenteral nutrition using the isotope dilution technique and arteriovenous balance approach across the leg.

Glucose turnover at whole-body and skeletal muscle level in response to parenteral nutrition in male patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis.

Cirrhosis is associated with insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance, which may be caused by impairments at different tissue levels. Here, glucose kinetics at whole-body and skeletal muscle level in patients with cirrhosis were studied during parenteral nutrition.
