The effect of lymphostasis on bile flow and composition in the rat
Lymphology
|June 1, 1980
Abstract:
The ligation of the thoracic duct and of the hepatic lymph vessels leads in the rat to a decease of bile flow and bile salt output. Bilirublin excretion was temporarily reduced both in lymphostasis and in sham operated animals, but bilirubin concentration in the bile rose progressively and after 3 hours bilirubin output returned in both groups to the control level.
