Intrahepatic cholestasis, defined as arrested bile flow, mimics extrahepatic obstruction in its biochemical, clinical and morphological features. It may be due to hepatocyte lesions of which there are three types, termed canalicular, hepatocanalicular and hepatocellular, respectively; or it may be
A simple procedure was developed for the estimation of bile acid taurine conjugates in fowl plasma. Laying hens fed a diet containing rapeseed meal (RSM) (400 g kg-1) for 12 weeks had higher bile acid levels (154 mumol litre-1) than hens fed a control soyabean diet (116 mumol litre-1) (P less than
The occurrence of liver haemorrhages was compared when diets containing 30 or 40 per cent rapeseed meal (RSM) or 30 per cent soybean meal (SBM), with and without experimental additives, were fed to in-lay hens of a commercial egg-producing strain for 12 weeks. The incidence of haemorrhages was
We describe the clinico-pathological characteristics of hepatic injury associated with the toxic-epidemic syndrome caused by the consumption of adulterated rapeseed oil. Of 842 toxic-epidemic syndrome patients admitted to our hospital between May, 1981, and January, 1982, 24.1% showed signs of liver
The hypothesis that dietary erucic acid may contribute to the pathogenesis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy has been examined in pregnant rats and hamsters after prolonged feeding of diets containing 25% rapeseed oil rich in erucic acid (40% of fatty acids) or corn oil, without erucic acid.
