title: [The antisteatosic activity of 2-MPG (Thiola). Study with the (BSF) dynamic test and with liver biopsy before and after the treatment].
abstract: The short-term therapeutic effect of 2-MPG has been studied in 12 patients suffering from chronic liver disease of prevalent steatosic type. The drug was administered in a dose of 2.5 g. for 20 days. Patients were submitted to hepatic needle biopsy and BSF load test, with compartmental analysis before and after treatment. A marked reduction in steatosis and a statistically significant fall in BSF retention at the 45th minute, with increase in conjugation and excretion of colorant, was observed in 11 patients.
