[Effect of a chromatographically purified bile secretion on the blood protein levels in hens].

Abstract

The injection of chromatographically purified biliary fraction from broiler birds, rich in bile acids, led to a dependable drop of serum proteins in chickens. Treatment of the latter with a bile sample from swine, obtained in a similar way (the reaction for bile acids being negative) did not lead to essential changes in the content of plasma colloids. Results showed that bile acids were of definite importance as regards the blood level of proteins and the redistribution of proteins in the body with the individual species of animals.
