Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book surveys the experimental studies and historical perspectives on the role of the liver in bile production. The author challenges the traditional understanding that the portal vein, and not the hepatic artery, supplies the raw materials for bile genesis. The text begins by recounting the historical context of the debate over the source of bile, setting the stage for the author's experimental research. Their experiments on cats and rabbits, detailed in the book, provide novel data on the effects of portal vein ligation, hepatic artery ligation, and other surgical interventions on bile secretion. The author demonstrates that bile production continues despite portal vein ligation, suggesting that the hepatic artery may play a more significant role than previously thought. This work contributes to the ongoing discussion of liver function and the physiology of bile production, challenging conventional wisdom and providing new directions for future research.
