Extract

The liver is important in the homeostatic regulation of manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu). The rates at which the liver removes these trace elements from plasma and excretes them in bile have been measured by using either cattle in which the duodenum had been surgically modified to allow bile to be sampled and its rate of flow measured, or cattle with cannulae in hepatic, portal, mesenteric and carotid vessels.
