TLDR
While canalicular flow is linearly related to bile acid secretion rate, there appears to be an independent basal rate of canalicular bile production, which is concentrated as much as threefold by ductal or ductular fluid reabsorption in the dog.Abstract:
WHEELERJENRY ~.,ELIZABETH D.Ross, AND STANLEY E. BRADLEY. Canalicular bile production in dogs. Am. J. Physiol. 2 14(4) : 866-874. 1968.-Biliary clearances of 14C-labeled creatinine, erythritol, inulin, mannitol, sucrose, and urea were measured in three unanesthetized cholecystectomized dogs equipped with Thomas duodenal cannulas. Sodium taurocholate was infused intravenously at varying rates to produce changes in bile flow. Clearance of mannitol varied linearly with bile acid secretion rate and in most cases was higher than bile flow. Clearances of creatinine, erythritol, and urea were similar to mannitol clearance except that erythritol clearance was slightly higher than mannitol clearance in one of the three dogs. Bile-to-plasma concentration ratios were usually greater than one and were highest at low rates of bile acid secretion. Inulin and sucrose clearances were very low. Secretin choleresis had no effect on mannitol clearance. These data suggest that clearances of compounds such as mannitol and erythritol provide an estimate of canalicular bile flow in the dog. While canalicular flow is linearly related to bile acid secretion rate, there appears to be an independent basal rate of canalicular bile production. Canalicular bile is concentrated as much as threefold by ductal or ductular fluid reabsorption in the dog.read more

Bile formation and secretion.
TL;DR: Canalicular bile secretion is determined by both bile salt-dependent and independent transport systems which are localized at the apical membrane of the hepatocyte and largely consist of a series of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transport proteins that function as export pumps for bile salts and other organic solutes.

Biliary physiology in rats with bile ductular cell hyperplasia. Evidence for a secretory function of proliferated bile ductules.
TL;DR: These studies indicate that, in the rat, the proliferated bile ductules/ducts spontaneously secrete bile and are the site of secretin choleresis, a property of biliary epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Bile acids are amphipathic, self-associate in solution, and form mixed micelles with polar lipids, phosphatidylcholine in bile, and fatty acids in intestinal content during triglyceride digestion.

Hypercholeresis induced by ursodeoxycholic acid and 7-ketolithocholic acid in the rat: possible role of bicarbonate transport.
TL;DR: It is suggested that ursodeoxycholate and 7-ketolithocholate are more potent choleretics than taurocholate; both compounds increase canalicular bicarbonate secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiology of bile secretion.
TL;DR: The aim of this revision was to set the bases for other reviews in this series that will be devoted to specific issues related with biliary physiology and pathology by summarizes recent data on the molecular determinants of this primary bile formation.

TL;DR: The equations derived here have been applied to various permeability measurements found in the literature, such as the penetration of heavy water into animal cells, permeability of blood vessels, threshold concentration of plasmolysis and relaxation experiments with artificial membranes.

An instrument and method for automatic, rapid, accurate, and sensitive titration of chloride in biologic samples.
TL;DR: An instrument and method are described which provide accurate, rapid, and automatic analysis of chloride in biologic samples, by electrometric titration with silver ion, which is sensitive, measuring accurately as little as 0.25 μEq of chloride.

The flow of solute and solvent across a two-membrane system
TL;DR: Equations are derived, utilizing the methods of irreversible thermodynamics, for the steady state flow of solvent and a single, neutral solute across a simple, non-homogeneous membrane system.

An Improved Cannula for Gastric and Intestinal Fistulas
TL;DR: The care of dogs with cannulated gastric or intestinal fistulas is often difficult because many of the animals will pull their cannulas out at the first opportunity, so the cannula was designed with a removable flange which could be inserted separately into the stomach or intestine.

Glucose penetration into liver.
TL;DR: To further define the action of insulin on liver metabolism, studies were undertaken to determine whether the cell wall could be the site of action as has been proposed for muscle.
