[Effect of prostaglandin F2 alpha on biliary secretion in the rat]

The effects of PGF2 alpha on biliary secretion of rats have been investigated. PGF2 alpha' at the dose of 100 micrograms/kg, produces a choleretic activity during the first 20 min after the injection. The effects are discussed by comparison to those observed in dogs, where a mechanism involving the canicolar level has been hypothesized.
