[The choleretic effect of Bulgarian dill oil in white rats]

The authors present the results from the experiemental studies of choleretic action of the Bulgarian dill oil, produced by the firm "Bulgarian Rose" from the crop of 1970, on white rats. The authors establish that choleretic action of the dill oil is manifested comparatively slightly in uneven increase of the basic bile components. The highiest increase is found in respect to lipid complex, which at the end of the experiment is increased from 80, 11 mg to 98.2--7,7 mg or with 123, 48% (in 100% of the controls). The cholic acid is increased at the end of the experiment from 147,44 - 3,08 mg to 162,53--2,51 mg or with 110,23%. Inorganic phosphor and the amount of the secreted bile remain almost equal in the control and experimental animals. Comparing the choleretic action of the dill oil with the action of the Bulgarian rose oil, the authors stress its weaker effect and uneven action on the production of some bile components on account of which the dill oil should be used together with other drugs in the complex therapy of patients with inhibited bile formation.
