Portacaval anastomosis decreases BSP disposal (Bl, B42, L3). There was a fall in the hepatic blood flow in all 12 patients who imderwent portacaval anastomoses for portal hypertension, but the BSP extraction ratio was increased (B42). Formation of Eck fistulae in dogs reduces BSP clearance (S27). Portacaval transposition does not affect the hepatic blood flow or the extraction ratio (S35).

About 1909 London began to study digestion and absorption of nucleic acids, and he continued work on liver metabolism he had begun 2 years earlier by learning how to construct an Eck fistula. He concluded his work on digestion and absorption of the major foodstuffs with a set of 99 experiments on five of his fistulous dogs in which he studied the fate of...
