Hepatic versus gallbladder bile composition: in vivo transport physiology of the gallbladder in rainbow trout
Abstract
Ion and water transport across the teleost Oncorhynchus mykiss gallbladder were studied in vivo by comparing flow and composition of hepatic bile, collected by chronic catheter, to volume and composition of terminally collected gallbladder bile. Differences in composition were comparable with those of other vertebrates, whereas bile flow (75 microl. kg(-1). h(-1)) was below values reported for endothermic vertebrates. The gallbladder …
