Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- If, as I suspect, liver function is implicated in the rate at which ALS/MND progresses the more plain water you drink the easier it will be for your liver and kidneys to function adequately.
- 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.
