Abstract


Change of the body fluid exchange and of the composition
of metabolites in the hepatosplanchnic area
in canine hemorrhagic and endotoxin or septic shock
models were studied by investigating the qualitative
and quantitative changes in thoracic duct lymph draining
from abdominal organs. In the present study,
it might be summarized that the changes in the flow
rate and composition of thoracic duct lymph were
put forward to much more directly and apparently
indicate the degree of hepatosplanchnic cellular
impairment in canine experimental shock than in the
circulating blood.
