METHODSAnimals, diet, and surgicul/veparation. Both sheep and dogs were used and all were thoroughly accustomed to handling. Each animal was housed in an individual laboratory pen and the room temperature was kept between 65 and 70 F. The sheep were sheared, mature, cross-bred ewes and were either nonpregnant or twinpregnant. The twin-pregnant sheep were selected bv means of abdominal radiography and were within 36 days of parturition. The diet consisted of an alfalfa-grass hay fed ad libitum. Fresh hay was given each morning and evening, however, and most feed consumption occurred at these times. Except for specific feeding experiments, all experiments were performed 3 hr after the morning feeding and also after 3 days of fasting. Water and a salt lick were available at all times. In all sheep, polyvinyl cannulas were surgically implanted into a femoral artery and the hepatic, portal, mesenteric, and femoral veins, as previously described (20). These animal preparations had variable periods of usefulness, but many remained patent for several months following the surgery. The animals were never used for experimental measurements until they were eating normally and at least 5-7 days after surgery. In dogs, the experiments were performed either in the acute preparation under Nembutal anesthesia or in chronically prepared animals in the postabsorptive state. The dogs were surgically prepared according to the method of Shoemaker and co-workers(29) and the chronically prepared animals were not used until they had fully recovered from the stress of surgery. Theoretical aspects of the blood jlow method. The portal blood flow method of Roe and associates (23) consisted of giving a priming dose followed by a constant infusion of PAH into a mesenteric vein and, after a period of time for equilibration, this allowed a constant dilution of the infused PAH by the portal vein blood. The method(23) originally measured portal plasma flow, but we have modified the method so that whole blood flow would be measured directly. This use of whole blood for analysis, rather than plasma, thus eliminates any errors due to the measurement of the packed cell volume and also eliminates any errors which might result from a diffusion of PAH into the red blood cells. Thus, the amount of PAH entering the portal system equals the amount of PAH leaving by way of the portal blood and therefore:
