Abstract
10 anesthetized dogs were provided with acute common bile duct fistulas and the gallbladder was excluded. Hepatic bile output and biliary content of sodium, potassium and amylase were studied. 6 caval infusions were administered of CCK, 0.3 Ivy U.kg-1.min-1, with a superimposed infusion of SP, 20 ng.kg-1.min-1. 7 caval infusions were given of VIP, 50 ng.kg-1.min-1, with a superimposed infusion of SP, 20 ng. kg-1.min-1. CCK increased bile output and biliary content of sodium, potassium and amylase by 78-110%. The corresponding increase induced by VIP was 55-85%. Biliary pH was not influenced. SP abolished the effects of both CCK and VIP. It is suggested that all peptides studied influenced canalicular bile secretion by changing the electrolyte excretion.
