[Effect of metaphos on the bile-forming function of the liver]. 1976

V A Kondriatiuk

In experiments with albino male rats the effect of a single introduction into the stomach of methaphos in doses of DL50, 1/10 DL50, 1/20 DL50, 1/50 DL50 and also of a daily consumption of the compound for a month was studied. Metaphos was found to exert a manysided action on the cholopoietic function of the liver, viz. it increases the intensity of the bile secretion, inhibits the synthesis of primary bile acids and conjugation of cholic acid with taurine and glycine, stimulates the formation, conjugation and secretion of bilirubin.

D002784	Cholesterol	The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils.	Epicholesterol
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001646	Bile	An emulsifying agent produced in the LIVER and secreted into the DUODENUM. Its composition includes BILE ACIDS AND SALTS; CHOLESTEROL; and ELECTROLYTES. It aids DIGESTION of fats in the duodenum.	Biliary Sludge,Sludge, Biliary
D001647	Bile Acids and Salts	Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones.	Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
