Abstract
Obstruction of the common bile duct was followed by a marked decrease of activity
in exteriorized loops of jejunum and ileum during the first two weeks after operation.
Subsequently, intestinal activity increased but never equaled the normal amount in
the jaundiced animals. The decrease of intestinal activity occurred in both the fasting
and digesting states but was more noticeable in the latter. It is suggested that the
biliary constituents retained in the blood, particularly the bile salts, may be of
importance in causing the observed alteration of intestinal activity.
