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
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
## Abstract The effects of zymosan on transport, distribution, and metabolism of octanoate in the perfused rat liver were investigated using the multipleβindicator dilution technique. Livers were perfused with 300 Β΅M octanoate in the absence or in the presence of 100 Β΅g/mL zymosan. Tracer amounts o
In perfused livers from fed rats, rates of glucose production (glycogenolysis) were 133 f 12 pmollglhr. Infusion of 2 pM verapamil into these livers decreased the rates of glucose production significantly to 97 \* 15 pmollglhr within 10 min. Conversely, rates of production of lactate plus pyruvate (
