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

We investigated the expression of hepatic transport systems involved in bile secretion during liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH) in rats. Initial studies showed maximal BrdU incorporation 24 hours after PH. Therefore, transporter expression and bile secretion were analyzed in detail a
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
Hepatocyte transport of six fluorescent bile acids containing nitrobenzoxadiazolyl (NBD) or a fluorescein derivative on the side chain was compared with that of natural bile acids using the single-pass perfused rat liver. Compounds were infused at 40 nmol/g liver min for 15 minutes; hepatic uptake a
The disposition of primaquine (0.75 mg, 5 pC1) has been investigated in the isolated perfused rat liver (IPRL) preparation alone and concurrently with mefloquine. In both groups, primaquine concentrations declined exponentially. There were no significant differences between the respective groups in
