“Charbonnier & Cachin (1967), from experiments on the effects of dihydroergotamine (DHE) on some hepatic function tests in man, have suggested that DHE may increase the cellular metabolism of galactose since they found that the alkaloid reduced the urinary excretion of galactose in the oral galactose tolerance test.”
“Urinary excretion of galactose was significantly lowered by both doses of DHE after both loading routes but dose effects were not significant.”
