title: [Polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine combined with vitamin B complex in the treatment of patients with disorders of the hepatobiliary function caused by unbalanced nutrition].
abstract: The above study was undertaken in order to assess the therapeutic activity of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine combined with vitamin B complex in 20 patients suffering from hepatobiliary disorders related to unbalanced diets with inappropriate caloric and/or macronutrient intake (another group of 20 subjects served as controls). The results obtained show that the combination used is apt to bring about desirable changes in the liver function parameters studied. These favorable changes are likely to be attributable to a reduction of damage to membranes and of changes in liver phospholipid synthesis.
