THE EFFECT OF LYMPHOSTASIS ON BILE FLOW AND COMPOSITION IN THE RAT

Authors: I Sugar ( ) , F Jakob ( ) , G Szabo ( )

Abstract

The ligation of the thoracic duct and of the hepatic lymph vessels leads in the rat to a decrease of bile flow and bile salt output. Bilirubin excretion was temporarily reduced both in lymphostasis and in sham operated animals, but bilirubin concentration in the bile rose progressively and after 3 hours bilirubin output returned in both groups to the control level.
