title: Changes in serum insulin levels during orthotopic liver transplantation in the pig.
abstract: Insulin and glucose levels were measured in 13 orthotopic liver transplantations in pigs. After portal revascularization a significant increase in the glucose levels takes place (p less than 0.01). When the infrahepatic vena cava clamp is removed, a significant increase in glucose and insulin concentrations (p less than 0.05) takes place. After the end of the operation the insulin levels decrease significantly with respect to initial values (p less than 0.05).
