This study was disigned to determine the effect of nutritional status on the energy metabolism of liver. Rat liver of four nutritional groups (Group Ⅰ： fasting; Group Ⅱ: surgar feeding diet; Group Ⅲ: normal feeding diet; Group Ⅳ: group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ accepted patenteral nutrition) were removed for study. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level, total addenosine nucleotides (TAN) level, and adenylaty energy charge (EC) of liver decreased in group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ in contrasted with group Ⅲ (P lt;0.001), result of group Ⅳ was similar to that of group Ⅲ when the liver specimens were collected. The rusults indicate that a short period of starvation and low sugar intake will result in the malnutrition of liver and derangement of hapatic energy metabolism and material metabolism. But this status can be corrected by a short perios of parenteral nutrition.
