Abstract
Summary and Conclusions
Evidence has been presented to indicate that dogs with the Thomas-type bile fistula are much more satisfactory than those with the Rous-MxM aster-type fistula for studies of liver function, particularly those involving collection and examination of bile. Data are presented regarding the normal biliary excretion of bromsulfalein following intravenous injection of 2 mg and 5 mg of the dye per kilogram of body weight.
The authors are indebted to Dr. J. Earl Thomas for advice and assistance in the preparation of the bile-fistula dogs used in these studies.
