4 days after portacaval shunt, the livers of normal dogs had pronounced atrophy and other structural abnormalities. These changes were greatly reduced in the left liver lobes, but not in the right, by a constant infusion to the left portal vein of insulin in non-hypoglycaemic doses. These experimental findings should have implications in clinical medicine.
门腔分流术后4天，正常犬的肝脏出现明显萎缩及其他结构异常。通过以非低血糖剂量持续向左门静脉输注胰岛素，左肝叶的这些变化大为减轻，但右肝叶未减轻。这些实验结果应会对临床医学产生影响。
