Abstract

A constant-flow, nonrecirculating system was used to study the extraction efficiency of colloidal carbon in the perfused liver of rats and rabbits. In both species, a diminution in perfusate flow produced an increased extraction efficiency. The extraction efficiency also increased with a decrease in the carbon concentration of the perfusate. In identical conditions regarding the flow rate and carbon concentration, the perfused liver of the rabbits showed a relatively lower phagocytic efficiency than that of the rats.
