We studied the effects of a series of vasodilators on intrahepatic vascular resistance of isolated perfused cirrhotic rat livers in basal conditions and during norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction. Cirrhosis was induced by repeated intraperitoneal injections of carbon tetrachloride. The vasodilat

We studied the effects of a series of 16 vasodilators on the intrahepatic vasoconstriction induced by norepinephrine in the isolated perfused rat liver. The vasodilators were nonselective alpha-adrenergic antagonists (phentolamine, ifenprofil, isoxsuprine and buflomedil), a nonselective beta-adrener
## Abstract The effects of zymosan on transport, distribution, and metabolism of octanoate in the perfused rat liver were investigated using the multipleโindicator dilution technique. Livers were perfused with 300 ยตM octanoate in the absence or in the presence of 100 ยตg/mL zymosan. Tracer amounts o
The effects of acetaminophen on the metabolism of the isolated perfused rat liver were investigated. The following results were obtained: (1) Acetaminophen increased glucose release and glycolysis from endogenous glycogen (glycogenolysis). (2) Oxygen uptake, gluconeogenesis from either pyruvate or
The role of hormones in the regulation of bile secretion is not known; however vasoactive agents, which act via the phosphoinositide signal transduction pathway, may mediate changes in bile flow by altering the hepatic microvasculature. We therefore examined the effects of phorbol esters and diacylg
Nonbile salt cholephiles and bile salts are two classes of organic anions that are efficiently taken up and excreted by the liver. Recent evidence suggests that a microtubular system-dependent, colchicine-sensitive transcellular pathway may transport both classes of these ligands. The relationship o
