ON THE INFLUENCES OF THE SPLENIC COMPONENTS ON THE EXPERIMENTAL HEPATIC DISTURBANCES

II. On the Influences of the Pathologic Splenic Components on the Hepatic Disturbances

Abstract

The author was interested in the components of pathologic spleen, especially of the spleen in Banti's disease, which evidently demonstrate a different behavior from that of the normal animals to. the hematological findings. Therefore, the author, as the first step, investigated the influences of its acetone insoluble extract on the liver in the same manner as was in the case of the bovine splenic components, which was reported in his previous paper. Following the above, he investigated the influences of the acetone insoluble extract of the spleen in Banti's disease on the hepatic disturbances induced by carbon tetrachloride. The conclusions thus obtained are as follows:
Diverging from the cases with the spleen of the normal animals, the spleen in Banti's disease contains components which induces the hepatic disturbances. This substance further deteriorates the hepatic disturbances induced by carbon tetrachloride.
