A digital computer is used to simulate solute disappearance curves evolving in the reservoir of a rat liver perfusion system. The results show that it is feasible to obtain good estimates of these kinetic parameters with only approximate information about the distribution of sinusoidal flows and the transfer function of the nonexchanging vasculature. By contrast satisfactory estimates of the transfer coefficients for uptake and efflux (but not excretion) are critically dependent on accurate measurements of the system transit times. A perfusion system suitable for implementing the method is tested and found to maintain normal liver function for upward of 60 min. The means to achieve the required volume and flow measurements are discussed, and an empirical criterion is developed for recognizing disappearance curves whose information content is too low to yield reliable results.

SUMMARY An isolated rat liver perfusion system was used to study the effects of insulin and glucagon on renin substrate production. Normal livers synthesized renin substrate at a rate of 28·3 ± 3·8 (s.e.m.) ng angiotensin I equiv./g liver each h (n = 8). The addition of insulin (more than 0·1 i.u.) to the perfusion significantly enhanced the production of renin substrate which was about twofold higher than normal control values (P< 0·001). However, glucagon (20 μg) did not affect the synthesis of renin substrate. These results indicated that insulin promoted the synthesis of renin substrate by the isolated rat liver.
