Nocturnal glucose administration might prevent gluconeogenesis and concomitant protein
loss due to hepatic glycogen depletion. In this study the effects of nocturnal oral glucose …

OBJECTIVE--To assess whether a late evening meal would improve nitrogen balance in
patients with cirrhosis of the liver. DESIGN--Randomised crossover study of meal schedules …

It has been reported that patients with liver cirrhosis suffer from energy malnutrition and late
evening snacks (LES) can be effective for this malnutrition. On the other hand, it is also …

Patients with liver cirrhosis exhibit early onset of gluconeogenesis after short-term fasting.
This accelerated metabolic reaction to starvation may underlie their increased protein …

Previous studies have shown that nocturnal glucose supplementation and a late evening
meal reduced raised protein turnover rates and led to a better nitrogen balance in patients …

Background: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of extra‐carbohydrate
supplementation before bedtime on energy metabolism and substrate oxidation in patients …

Aims: We have reported that one‐week administration of a late evening snack (LES)
improved not only malnutrition but also glucose intolerance in hospitalized patients with liver …

Aims: patients with liver cirrhosis exhibit abnormal fuel metabolism, including increased fat
and decreased glucose oxidation. Such altered energy metabolism is similar to that …

Aim: A late evening snack (LES) is recommended for protein‐energy malnutrition in patients
with liver cirrhosis. However, many cases of liver cirrhosis have accompanying impaired …

Background/aim: Patients with liver cirrhosis suffer from energy malnutrition. Late evening
snacks (LESs) have been recently reported to be effective for this. However, it is known that …
