Martin W. Scobey, Fred L. Johnson, John S. Parks, Lawrence L. Rudel – 1 October 1991 – We studied two groups of adult male African green monkeys to assess the effects of dietary fish oil on biliary lipid secretion and cholesterol gallstone formation. One group was fed 0.8 mg cholesterol/kcal and 42% of calories as fat with half of the fat calories derived from lard; the other group was fed a similar diet except for the isocaloric substitution of menhaden oil for lard. After 21/2 to 3 yr, necropsies were performed and the presence of gallstones was determined.

Joanna M. Little, Piotr Zimniak, Anna Radominska, Roger Lester, Paul Lehman – 1 October 1991 – The 3‐O‐glucuronide of lithocholic acid has been shown to be a potent cholestatic agent in rats. However, even after the onset of lithocholic acid glucuronide–induced cholestasis, little of the administered material was recovered in urine.

Hitoshi Togashi, Haruhide Shinzawa, Hiroto Wakabayashi, Toichiro Nakamura, Huang Yong, Nobuo Yamada, Katsuaki Ukai, Yoshimi Okuyama, Tsuneo Takahashi, Makoto Ishikawa – 1 October 1991 – We examined whether superoxide is a factor responsible for paraquat‐induced liver injury in terms of superoxide dismutase using cultured rat liver slices exposed to various concentrations of paraquat. The degree of liver injury was assessed by measurement of percentage of lactate dehydrogenase leakage into the medium and lipid hydroperoxides in the liver slices and by direct histopathological observation.

Florian Lang, Edda Tschernko, Eva Schulze, Irina Öttl, Markus Ritter, Harald Völkl, Christian Hallbrucker, Dieter Häussinger – 1 October 1991 – In anesthetized male rats, infusion of glutamine (2 μmol/min) into the superior mesenteric vein at a rate known to induce liver cell swelling leads to marked decreases in renal glomerular filtration rate, renal para‐aminohippurate clearance and urinary flow rate. Glutamine infused at identical rates into the jugular vein does not elicit any of these effects. The effect of glutamine is mimicked by serine but not by glutamate.
