Effect of bile acids on bile flow in perfused livers of wild-type (WT) and Cx32-knockout mice (KO). Isolated livers were perfused in situ for 90min and bile flow measured gravimetrically in 15-min fractions. After 45min, the bile acid taurolithocholic acid (TLCA) alone or in combination with tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) were infused for 45min at a continuous rate into the perfusion medium to reach a final concentration of 10μmol/L, respectively, in the portal vein. Bile flow measurements in the perfused livers were scaled by baseline bile flow (15–45min) in each experiment to minimize variability during comparisons. Means±SEM, n=3–4.
