It would also help explain a clinical observation discussed later: the gastrointestinal side effects associated with amylin analogs (nausea, early fullness) tend to be most pronounced during dose escalation and to ease with continued treatment, a pattern consistent with partial adaptation of the very gastric mechanism in question

Because of the absence of a nucleus and mitochondria, the red cell is incapable of generating energy via the (oxidative) Krebs cycle and depends mainly on the anaerobic conversion of glucose by the Embden-Meyerhof pathway (EMP, or direct glycolytic pathway) and the oxidative hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP, or pentose phosphate shunt) (Figure 23-1)
IGF-I can be measured by an automated immuno-assay and/or by LC-MS/MS, P-III-NP by another automated immuno-assay and/or a radio-immunoassay
Histology may show inflammation (cholestatic hepatitis) or it can be bland (without any parenchymal inflammation)
