The Splanchinic Blood flow and Oxygen Consumption Estimated in Man by the Bromsul-Phalein Method with Special Reference to the Influence of the Peripheral Dye Level

Lactate production during fructose infusion with or without amino acids

Lactate production from the liver during fructose infusion was decreased when an amino acid infusion was given simultaneously. The most pronounced decrease was observed when the amino acid infusion was started before the simultaneous administration of fructose and amino acids. The explanation of the phenomenon is thought to be a stimulation of gluconeogenesis by amino acids.

Reference values for resting blood flow to organs of man

The lack of a reliable quantitative description of blood flow in man has hampered the development of accurate biokinetic models of essential elements, drugs, imaging agents, and carcinogens. In this paper we review and analyse data on blood flow and identify representative percentages of cardiac output and absolute blood flow rates to organs and tissues of man for use as reference values for biokinetic models. To keep the review and analysis to a manageable size we have limited attention to the resting state and have suggested reference values for absolute and relative flow rates only for adult males and females.
