Popis: The effect of alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) on bile flow, erythritol clearance, bile acid excretion and bilirubin excretion was studied in rats. The median time-to-effect (Et50) for the appearance of cholestasis was about 15 h. ANIT failed to exert a gradual effect on bile flow or erythritol clearance before the onset of cholestasis. However, 3 h before complete cessation of bile flow, a rapid decline in bile flow and bile acid excretion was observed. Bile acid-independent flow was markedly reduced. However, the bile acid-dependent component was also affected.
