Effect of pentobarbital or urethane on bile secretion and chemical composition of blood in the rabbit. 1987

P S Collado, and M J Pozo-Andrada, and J González, and R Jiménez, and A Esteller

A study was made of the effects of anaesthesia with pentobarbital and urethane on the bile secretion and the chemical composition of the blood of New Zealand rabbits. Neither of the agents was observed to affect arterial pH or pO2, but with urethane pCO2 values decreased significantly. This was associated with a pronounced hyperglycaemia. Bile flow was significantly higher in pentobarbital-anaesthetized animals than in urethane-anaesthetized animals, a phenomenon that can be attributed to a different canalicular flow and that will not be related to differences in the bile-acid-dependent fraction of secretion. Under both anaesthetics, bile sodium concentrations were greater than those found in plasma, which can be explained by the formation of micelles with low osmotic activity. Bile bicarbonate concentrations proved to be greater than those observed in plasma. Plasma calcium concentrations were significantly lower with urethane than with pentobarbital, whereas in bile the situation was reversed; both these aspects are discussed.

D010424 Pentobarbital A short-acting barbiturate that is effective as a sedative and hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) agent and is usually given orally. It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but, like similar agents, may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D004573 Electrolytes Substances that dissociate into two or more ions, to some extent, in water. Solutions of electrolytes thus conduct an electric current and can be decomposed by it (ELECTROLYSIS). (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Electrolyte
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.
