[Liver function in diabetics with secondary sulfanilamide resistance (based on the data from dynamic hepatobiliary scintigraphy)]. / Funktsional'noe sostoianie pecheni u bol'nykh sakharnym diabetom so vtorichnoi sul'fanilamidorezistentnost'iu (po dannym dinamicheskoi gepatobilistsintigrafii).

Dynamic hepato-bilio-scintigraphy was performed in 43 patients with diabetes mellitus. An analysis of results showed that characteristic of patients with diabetes mellitus is a reduction of the detoxicating and bile excretory function of the liver which was most pronounced in patients with insulin-dependent type in the condition of secondary sulfanylamide resistance. Typical of diabetes mellitus disorder of the gallbladder function was its hypotonia and dyskinesia.

Fat stores in three forms of adipose tissue (brown, subcutaneous and visceral) differ in their composition in five populations of the ground squirrel C. parryi. Oleic aicd content is always several times higher in subcutaneous and visceral fat during spring period as compared to the content of linoleic acid. Linoleic and linoleic acids content increased in autumn animals, although in the most northern population it remained unchanged.

In several geographic populations of the Arctic ground squirrel C. parryi, studies have been made on changes in oxygen consumption during decrease of the ambient temperature from 25 to 3-4 degrees, thermal preference, hemoglobin content of the blood and composition of the adipose tissue (both brown and white, subcutaneous and visceral). Significant shifts of these indices were found. In animals from various parts of the species area, different sensitivity to cooling was found, as indicated by determinations of oxygen consumption at different temperatures and the prefered temperature: different hemoglobin content of the blood was also found together with differences in the level of two unsaturated fatty acids - the oleic and linoleic ones. Comparison of these data with similar results obtained on various populations of the Siberian ground squirrel C. undulatus revealed obvious differences between these close species with respect to the indices studied.
