| Abstract: | The effect of PCA on bile and lymph composition in rats was studied. It was established that secretion of bile acid decreased significantly and this resulted in reduced bile flow. In studying lymph flow and protein content, the most important observation was a decrease in the protein concentration of hepatic lymph. It can be supported that hepatic blood flow decreased due to PCA is responsible for all these changes. |
