Abstract
Summary
Biliary fistulas were created in rats under ether anesthesia. Biliary excretion of copper diminished after the first day. When the rats were reanesthetized with ether 1 to 4 days after the operation, more dramatic changes in biliary copper excretion occurred. If the second anesthetic was administered 1 to 2 days after the operation, biliary copper fell about one-half. The reduction was modest on the third day and 4 days after the operation biliary excretion of copper was little affected by ether anesthetization.
The technical excellence of Mr. Curtis Grabau is much appreciated.
