Abstract
The activity of adenylate cyclase in the hepatocyte plasma membranes, content of cAMP, and cAMP/cGMP ratio in the liver and blood plasma are decreased in patients with chronic liver diseases (fatty dystrophy, chronic hepatitis, and cirrhosis). This decrease depends on the disease severity and is most pronounced in cirrhosis. The sensitivity of liver adenylate cyclase to insulin and glucagon is changed. It is concluded that disorders in the adenylate cyclase system are an important molecular mechanism in the pathogenesis of chronic liver diseases.
