Abstract
It has been shown that water and electrolytes are reabsorbed from the biliary tract of the rat. Furthermore there are some suggestions for the reabsorption of organic compounds during their passage down the biliary tract. Our results presented in this paper demonstrate a different mode of biliary excretion of unconjugated BSP [BSP-U] and BSP- glutathione [BSP-GSH] after retrograde intrabiliary injection, BSP-GSH is excreted to a much greater extent than BSP-U within the first 5 minutes after retrograde administration. In other terms BSP-GSH is reabsorbed to a lesser extent than BSP-U. Additionally the reabsorption of BSP-U and BSP-G after retrograde injection seems to be dependent on the concentration and the contact time in the biliary tree. It is suggested that the different biliary excretion of BSP-U and BSP-GSH after intravenous injection might be explained partly by a different reabsorption mode.
