Popis: — Endotoxin was injected directly into the portal vein in rats with and without common bile duct (CBD) ligation. B-N-acetyl hexosaminidase (B-NAH) activity levels in the serum were found to be significantly elevated 24 h later in both groups. Serum bile acid levels were found to be significantly higher in the endotoxin-injected groups of rats compared to controls. Thus, endotoxin, as well as bile acids, may cause damage to Kupffer cell membranes, resulting in accumulation of B-NAH in rat serum.
