肾上腺皮质类固醇激素(以下简称激素)对机体代谢具有广泛的影响,已用于多种疾病的治疗。本文综述该药在肝脏疾患方面的临床应用。激素对肝内物质代谢的影响肝醣元的含量与肝脏机能活动及其抵抗不良因素侵害的能力密切相关。肝细胞醣元含量充足时,其解毒功能是强的;反之,如肝细胞醣元含量不足,不仅其解毒功能降低,且其本身亦易遭致毒害,发生变性、营养不良甚至坏死。因此,凡影响肝醣代谢的因素对 Adrenal corticosteroids (hereinafter referred to as hormones) have a wide range of effects on body metabolism and have been used in the treatment of many diseases. This article reviews the clinical application of this drug in liver disease. The effect of hormones on intrahepatic substance metabolism The content of hepatic glycogen is closely related to the ability of liver function and its resistance to adverse factors. Liver cells glycogen content sufficient, its detoxification function is strong; the contrary, such as lack of glycogen content of liver cells, not only its detoxification function is reduced, and itself vulnerable to poisoning, degeneration, malnutrition and even necrosis. Therefore, any factors that affect liver glycometabolism
