THE PRODUCTION OF PARTIAL LIVER INSUFFICIENCY IN RABBITS

P D McMaster et al. J Exp Med. .

Abstract

A rapid and simple method for the production of marked liver insufficiency in rabbits has been described. The necessary operation can be carried out by an unassisted operator in a few minutes. The method should further the study of liver physiology. The changes as concerns blood sugar, urea formation, and uric acid metabolism would appear to be the same in the rabbit suffering from hepatic insufficiency as in the dog.
