Hans‐Peter Buscher, Mathias Beger, Hella Sauerbier, Wolfgang Gerok – 1 September 1987 – The distribution of [3H]taurocholate between albumin and the lipoproteins of serum of patients with various diseases in which lipoprotein metabolism and/or bile salt concentrations were altered and of healthy control subjects was investigated by means of the density gradient centrifugation method. 1In control sera, bile salts distribute mainly between albumin and high‐density lipoprotein.

Keith D. Lindor, Russell H. Wiesner, Nicholas F. Larusso, Henry A. Homburger – 1 September 1987 – Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a chronic, cholestatic liver disease in which immune mechanisms are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis. We have determined the frequencies and functional phenotypes of autoreactive T‐lymphocytes in peripheral blood specimens from patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis and healthy adults as an indicator of autoreactivity in primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Thomas H. Maren – 1 September 1987 – 1. In isolated perfused rat liver, urea synthesis is rapid and reversibly inhibited not only by the well‐known carbonic anhydrase inhibitors acetazolamide, methazolamide and ethoxzolamide, but also by diuretics, like xipamide, mefruside, chlortalidone, and chlorothiazide. Furosemide was without effect.
