title: Effect of ACP (pyridoxine-2-oxoglutarate) on hepatic failure after diversion of portal blood flow.
abstract: The protective effect of pyridoxine-2-oxoglutarate (ACP) was studied in end-to-side porto-caval shunted rats. A significant improvement of hepatic conditions was shown in ACP-treated rats, while an increased mortality was observed in pyridoxine and 2-oxoglutarate treated rats. Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transminase, glutamicpyruvic transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase activities, composition of serum proteins, liver mitochondria oxygen consumption rate, plasma ammonia were tested.
