- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main objective of this study is to explore if hepatocytes have a functional<br /><br>reserve capacity:<br /><br><br /><br>- Does oral food challenge potentiate hepatic function measured with<br /><br>99mTc-mebrofenin HBS?</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The secondary objective of this study is to explore if age influences the liver<br /><br>function and the hepatic reserve capacity:<br /><br><br /><br>- Does initial liver function measured with 99mTc-mebrofenin HBS differ between<br /><br>younger and elderly subjects?<br /><br><br /><br>- Does liver function after oral food challenge measured with 99mTc-mebrofenin<br /><br>HBS differ between younger and elderly subjects?<br /><br><br /><br><br /><br></p><br>
