Endotoxin is known to cause a dose-dependent impairment of hepatic bile secretion, organic anion excretion, and activity of Na+,K'-activated ATPase. Since it is possible that this impaired excretory function is a result of direct interaction of endotoxin with hepatocytes, we examined: (a) the excret

β¦ Synopsis
Rats with cannulated bile ducts were intravenously given 203HgCl2 in the dose of 120 microgram of Hg2+ per rat. Intramuscular administration of Unithiol (sodium 2,3-dimercaptopropanosulphonate) 4 and 7 h after 203Hg injection markedly increased both biliary and urinary excretion of 203Hg. In rats with Spironolactone (17-Hydroxy-7alpha-mercapto-3-oxo-17alpha-pregn-4-ene-21-carboxylic acid, gamma-lactone, acetate) pretreatment the effect of Unithiol on the biliary excretion of 203Hg was enhanced. Urinary excretion of mercury was lowest in comparison with Unithiol treated group.
