Experiments were made on dogs with chronic U-shaped gall bladder-duodenal fistulas. The animals received 10% sorbitol (0.6 g/kg) injections into the peripheral vein. Analysis of total bile acids cholesterol and total bilirubin in hourly portions of the bile showed that sorbitol known to produce a choleretic effect when administered enterally and intraduodenally failed to have a choleretic effect after intravenous injection.
