Lymph flow dynamics into the thoracic duct of the rat.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lymph flow into the thoracic duct of rats is reduced by 60% through immobilization with anesthesia. From this reduction, changes of the autonomic nervous activity by alpha-chloralose accounts for 20%. Pancuronium bromide blocking of the skeletal neuromuscular junction reduces lymph flow in the anesthetized rats by an additional 4%.

Intestinal absorption of cholesterol by the nephrotic rat.
Exogenous cholesterol, absorbed from the intestinal tract, is transported into the blood by the lymph of the thoracic duct. By means of thoracic duct cannulation and subsequent lymph collection following stomach feeding of 100 mg. of cholesterol dissolved in olive oil, it was found that the nephrotic rat has a diminished rate of cholesterol absorption. This could not be ascribed to a deficiency...
متن کاملThoracic duct and hepatic lymph in idiopathic portal hypertension.
Lymph dynamics in idiopathic portal hypertension has been studied in two phases. In the first phase thoracic duct lymph transport was studied in 11 patients with idiopathic portal hypertension by cannulating the duct. This revealed altered lymph transport in the form of a distended thoracic duct, raised pressure in the duct, and haemorrhagic lymph with an increased flow rate. The lymph flow rat...
متن کاملRedistribution of regional lymph to the thoracic duct in rats during heat stress.
The protein concentration of the thoracic duct lymph and the amount of protein transported by the thoracic duct decreased during an acute heat stress in rats. The changes in regional lymph flow into the thoracic duct were calculated and the ratio of the lymph from the skin increased 13% and that from the visceral organs decreased 6% during heat stress.
متن کاملA modified rat model for cannulation and collection of thoracic duct lymph.
Difficulty in collecting lymph samples in small animals has impeded studies on lymphatic function and lymph composition. Here we report a simple and effective modified rat model for thoracic duct lymph drainage where animals remain in full consciousness and have free movement and access to water and food over 12 hours. The operative procedure required approximately 30 minutes to perform. Mean l...
متن کاملA Method for the Observation of the Primo Vascular System in the Thoracic Duct of a Rat
Even though the primo vascular system (PVS) has been observed in large caliber lymph vessels by several independent teams, the presence of the PVS in the thoracic duct has been reported by only one team, probably because reproducing the experiment is technically difficult. This brief report presents a new, relatively straightforward method, which is a simple modification of the previous method ...
