The histomorphology of typical liver cell necroses are here correlated with heterotope distributions of enzymes in liver parenchyma. A variety of findings indicate a congruence between gluconeogenetic areas of the liver and the typical pattern of 'piecemeal' necrosis. We therefore propose a diagnostic index based on fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase activity and the data from the clinical laboratory. This index makes it possible to distinguish between chronic persistent and chronic aggressive hepatitis.

Galactosamine-induced hepatitis caused a marked increase in plasma lactate and pyruvate, but completely abolished the increase in ketone bodies in the rat exposed to an 8000 m simulated altitude. Plasma free fatty acid as the precursor of ketone bodies was higher in the galactosamine-treated rats during and after an exposure to 8000 m altitude. Treatment of the rat with galactosamine markedly reduced activities of citrate synthase, fumarase, glutamate dehydrogenase and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, but increased hexokinase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the liver. The effect of galactosamine-induced hepatitis on the energy metabolism can be explained by a reduction of mitochondrial oxidative enzymes and gluconeogenesis, and involves a shift of the aerobic metabolism to anaerobic glycolysis at high altitude.
