✦ Synopsis


Castor oil-induced diarrhea in rats is described to be an appropriate model of the complex, prolonged processes of hypersecretion and accelerated transit that characterize secretory diarrhea. Suprofen, a prostaglandin biosynthesis inhibitor, was found to postpone diarrhea over a wide dose range, but suprofen failed to reduce the diarrheal excretion. In contrast to suprofen, loperamide not only increased the diarrhea-free period but also produced a dose-related decrease of the diarrheal excretion.

In the hepatic uptake of large particles such as liposomes, a serum component called opsonin plays an important role. In this study, the 'Oldendorf method' is introduced to evaluate the hepatic extraction under the condition of single passage, which enabled examination of the effect of opsonization
