Abstract:In spite of the numerous investigations directed to stcdy lymph propulsion, wide discrepancy exists about the mechanisms of action of drugs altering thoracic duct lymph flow (1-3). During our previous studies on the transport of calcium by the lymph we observed that between the onset of a hypocalcemic challenge produced by ethylenediaminotetracetate infusion and the return of serum calcium to normal levels, thoracic duct lymph flow (TDLF) was markedly increased (4). Further experiments determined that the rise… Show more
