Abstract: | The intake of food in the morning immediately after awakening causes an increase in the Ci-value of the blood serum, measured by Thunberg's enzymatic method. In a series of 10 subjects the lowest increase was 5 %, the highest 32 %, and the mean value 20.6 %. When the method is used for diagnostic purposes in liver diseases, blood samples should be taken on an empty stomach and under so similar conditions as possible. |
