title: Effects of cicloxilic acid on bile flow and lipid composition in rats with ethinylestradiol-induced cholestasis.
abstract: A subacute dose of ethinylestradiol reduces the bile flow and the bile salt:cholesterol and bile salt + lecithin:cholesterol molar ratios in the rat. An acute dose of cis-2-hydroxy-2-phenyl-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (cicloxilic acid) 50 mg kg-1 i.v. normalizes these parameters. These findings confirm and extend similar data in laboratory animals and in clinical trials.
