Isolated Perfused Rat Livers to Quantify the Pharmacokinetics and Concentrations of Gd-BOPTA
Figure 6
Gd-BOPTA concentrations over time in structures identified at clinical MRI. Values are either liver concentrations assessed by the gamma counter (a) or true concentrations in bile (b). Gd-BOPTA (200 μM) is perfused from 45 to 75 min and replaced by a rinse solution from 75 to 105 min. Two groups of rats are studied: normal rats (n = 5, black symbols) and rats lacking Mrp2 (n = 3, grey symbols). Adapted from [14] with permission.
