STUDIES ON THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE LIVER

Abstract
Under ether anesthesia a cannula was inserted into the thoracic duct of healthy, fasting dogs (number not stated) which 2 hrs. previously had received abundant water. No difference was observed in the flow of lymph from the thoracic duct before and after ligation of the periportal lymphatics or in the lymphagogic action of peptone in normal etherized dogs before and after ligation of the periportal lymphatics. Removal of the liver by the usual technic did not diminish the flow of lymph. The intravenous injection of peptone into a dehepatized dog was followed by the usual lymphagogic effect.
