Effects of alcohol on plasma lipoproteins and cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism in man
John R. Crouse,Scott M. Grundy +1 more
TL;DR: Obese subjects appeared to be more susceptible to the hyperlipidemic effects of alcohol; whereas 4/6 obese patients developed increased total triglyceride and VLDL-triglyceride concentrations when alcohol was administered, concentrations increased with alcohol administration in only 1/6 lean individuals.

Myths and misconceptions of Wernicke's encephalopathy: what every emergency physician should know.

Indocyanine Green Clearance as a Test for Hepatic Function: Evaluation by Dichromatic Ear Densitometry
TL;DR: Indocyanine green (ICG) has proven much less sensitive than BSP in detecting mild liver-cell damage or demonstrating the excretory defect produced by synthetic androgenicanabolic steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI
A micromethod for assay of total tocopherols in blood serum.
TL;DR: The method is based on the macroprocedure of Quaife and Harris (4), however, the hydrogenation step, which obviates interference due to carotene, has been omitted since it was not found feasible to hydrogenate.
