✦ Synopsis

We have studied calcium movement from blood into the bile by injecting 45Ca2+ intravenously and measuring the radioactivity appearing in the bile. 45Ca2f started to appear in the bile at 3 min and maximum values were observed at 5 min after its administration. The amount of calcium secreted into the bile was proportional to the blood calcium concentration indicating that the main pathway involved in calcium movement behaved as a non-saturable system.

We have also studied the 45Ca2i circulation from blood into the bile in rats subjected to a partial hepatectomy.

Thereafter, the calcium transported into the bile per gram of liver increased by about 50 per cent. Since bile flow behaved in a similar way, the biliar calcium concentration remained unmodified after hepatectomy. Determination of the activities of the Ca2+ transporting systems in isolated plasma membrane fractions from regenerating livers showed no modification in these activities suggesting that the elevation in calcium movement observed after hepatectomy is not due to an increase in the circulation of Ca2+ through the transhepatocyte pathway, an observation compatible with the absence of saturation in the transport.

The bile contains small quantities of lactoferrin, the origin of which is uncertain. For this reason, we studied the liver's capability of transferring lactoferrin from the plasma to the bile by injecting a dose (10 to 20 pg/lOO gm) of labeled bovine lactoferrin intravenously and following its appea

Papaverine is a nonspecific smooth muscle relaxant and a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Its effects on biliary excretion of lipids and horseradish peroxidase were investigated in a single-pass isolated perfused rat liver model.

## Abstract Partial hepatectomy induces increases in the synthesis of both messenger (poly(A)^+^) and ribosomal (poly(A)^−^) RNA, which precede the initiation of DNA synthesis. The increase in poly(A)^+^RNA, which commences soon after surgery and reaches a peak 1–3 hours later is particularly strik

Employing the in situ perfused rat liver, we examined the origins and mechanisms of transport of proteins into bile. First, utilizing polyacrylamide gels, we noted that many biliary proteins co-migrated with dominant serum proteins. Upon liver perfusion with serum-free medium, most proteins disappea
