Scope Note

physiological activity and functions of the liver, including production of bile, removal of glucose from blood, destruction or transformation of toxic compounds, and production of various blood proteins.

Facts

  • The liver function is tightly controlled by the parasympathetic nervous function associated with the synthesis of acetylcholine, which, in turn, requires the enzymes provided by the liver function.
  • In parallel, although liver function is reduced after PVL, the extent of reduction is less with phenobarbital.
  • When liver function is severely abnormal, their synthesis and secretion into the blood is decreased.
  • Liver function is commonly monitored among people taking antiretroviral therapy due to the risk of liver dysfunction.
