The insulin response to oral and intravenous glucose was measured in ten patients after resection of antrum, duodenum, proximal jejunum, and the head of pancreas (Whipple's operation). Compared to matched normal subjects the operation reduced neither the total nor the gut hormone induced part of the insulin response to oral glucose. The results suggest, that hormones from the first part of the intestinal tract are not necessary as incretins.
There is no relationship between the NAT2 genotype and the risk of ALD. Slow acetylator genotype may predispose to the development of HCC in severe ALD patients not infected by the hepatitis C virus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
