[Isolated perfusion of the small intestine of the rat with perfluorotributylamine as an artificial oxygen carrier].

Abstract

A new model of isolated intestinal perfusion could be established with fluorocarbon (FC-43) as artificial oxygen carrier. Morphology, cell metabolism of xenobiotics (phase I and II), as well as the transport of a monosaccharide, were stable for at least 2 h. Without interference with the changing metabolism of erythrocytes in the perfusion medium, the proposed model allows one to investigate exclusively the metabolic function of the perfused organ.
