[Acute hypercapnia and bile. Experimental studies in the rat (author's transl)]. 1976

F Guerrin, and H Robin, and B Louf

The bile acid-base parameters are analyzed in 42 male Wistar rats under pentobarbital anaesthesia, in normal conditions of blood acid-base equilibrium. The reproducibility of the results is emphasized. In acute hypercapnia (FICO2 : 0.12 for 15 min) without hypoxia, and for the same increase in PCO2, and pH variation is lesser in bile than in blood, thus showing an high buffer capacity. In vitro and in vivo comparative studies show that bile buffer capacity is about five times higher in vivo, independently of a possible increase in choleresis. Comparative studies of bile-acid-base equilibrium are effected during perfusions of dehydrocholate, sodium taurocholate, secretin and acetazolamide. Sodium and chlorine remain stable during hypercapnia both in blood and in bile ; potassium concentration is increased in the two media. To explain these results, the role of the liver is still to specify.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.

D006935 Hypercapnia A clinical manifestation of abnormal increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.
D000086 Acetazolamide One of the CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS that is sometimes effective against absence seizures. It is sometimes useful also as an adjunct in the treatment of tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic seizures, particularly in women whose seizures occur or are exacerbated at specific times in the menstrual cycle. However, its usefulness is transient often because of rapid development of tolerance. Its antiepileptic effect may be due to its inhibitory effect on brain carbonic anhydrase, which leads to an increased transneuronal chloride gradient, increased chloride current, and increased inhibition.
