title: [Causes of hyperinsulinemia and decreased sensitivity to insulin in liver damage].
abstract: Chronic contamination of rats with heliotrin causing the development of hepatitis or hepatocirrhosis and partial hepatectomy to decrease the amount of liver cellular elements resulted in intolerance to glucose, a decrease in the sensitivity of the body to insulin, hyperinsulinemia after a glucose-tolerance test. The content of glycogen in the liver of the heliotrin contaminated rats was much lower than that in the controls and after glucose-tolerance an absolute increment of glycogen in the controls was 8.8-fold higher than in the heliotrin-contaminated rats. It was concluded that a decrease in glucose-tolerance and hyperinsulinemia in patients with chronic hepatitis and hepatocirrhosis were determined by a decrease in the amount of functionally active liver cellular elements and the development of insulin resistance.
