Source sentences
The results showed that glucagon can modulate the immunity of patients with cirrhosis: decrease SIg, increase T cell number, regulate T cell subset, improve macrophage phagocytosis, specially to IgG (P<0.05), CD+8(P<0.01), CD+4/CD+8(P<0.05) and macrophage phagocytic rate (P<0.05) has significant effect.

We detected Serum immunoglobulin (SIg), T cell subset and macrophage phagocytosis respectively in 35 patients were with posthepatits B cirrhosis. Among them, 32 cases were determined again after glucagon or insulin treatment for 2 weeks. Twelve cases of glucagon-treatment compared with 20 cases trea…
