[Liver circulation under the effect in intestinal hormones in patients with diabetes mellitus]

The following significant disturbances of the blood flow were revealed in the liver of 104 patients suffering from diabetes mellitus as a result of rheographic studies: a reduction of the amplitude-frequency index, of the sphygmometric velocity and of its components--the rate of rapid and slow blood filling. The intestinal hormones--secretion and cholecystokinin-pancreosimin improved these indices. The duration of their effect (1.5 U/kg, intravenously) was not less than 20, and not less than 10 min, respectively.
