[Physiology of biliary excretion of roentgenographic contrast media (author's transl)]. 1977

W A Fuchs

Contrast agents for oral and intravenous cholecysto-cholangiography are iodinized lipophilic compounds with marked albumin binding. Their selective uptake by the liver occurs because of the presence of a membrane transport system and preferential binding to the hepatic cytoplasmatic proteins. Peroral contrast agents are conjugated. The canalicular excretion is an active carrier-mediated process limited by a transport maximum. Intravenous contrast agents are potent choleretics. Bile salts are important for intestinal absorption and hepatic excretion of the contrast agents. Pharmacological agents do not improve the biliary excretion of contrast compounds. The value of various investigation techniques is discussed.

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.

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
