Summary
-
1.
Inulin space in increased in livers of rats poisoned with 2 mg/kg phalloidin i.p. 30 min before sacrifice.
-
2.
Diffusion of inulin into the cell water is postulated to be more marked in slices from poisoned livers as compared with slices from normal livers.
-
3.
Our findings support the assumption that cell membrane damage is the primary pathologic event in livers poisoned with phalloidin.
