Increased blood level of the liver specific enzyme ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCT) is known to be a sensitive indicator of liver cell damage. The effect of preoperative aminoacid infusion to obese patients before jejunoileal bypass due to obesity was studied in 7 patients. They had a significantly lower rise on OCT than eight patients receiving only 5.5% glucose. The result seems to indicate that the liver in an obese patient undergoing abdominal surgery is protected against damage by an infusion of aminoacids.
