Glucagon in intravenous cholangiography--an experimental study on dogs.
The present study reports on the effect of glucagon on the excretion of ioglycamate in experimental intravenous cholangiography on dogs. Glucagon increased the bile flow rate highly significantly (p < 0.001). At the same time the concentration of the contrast medium decreased highly significantly (p < 0.001). The biliary tree output of the contrast medium also increased, this increase was not statistically significant. This investigation suggests that glucagon seems to have effect on the bile flow as well as on the output of contrast medium in experimental cholangiography.
