Zusammenfassung
Background & Aims: Hepatic uptake of bile salts is mediated by sodium-dependent and sodium-independent transport systems. During extrahepatic cholestasis both function and expression of the Na+/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) are down-regulated. To test whether hepatic sodium-independent organic anion transporting polypeptides (Oatp1/Oatp1a1, Oatp2/Oatp1a4, Oatp4/Oatp1b2) are also affected by extrahepatic cholestasis, function and expression of all three Oatps have been determined in rats subjected to common bile duct ligation (CBDL; n=4) for up to 7 days with and without anti-cytokine pretreatmen…
