[The demonstration of pharmacological active substances in the portal vein blood of dogs after occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (author's transl)].

The experimental occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery in dogs is followed by a significant rise of serotonin-, kinin- and katecholamin-concentrations in the portal vein blood. The rise of the prostaglandin-F2alpha-concentration occurred only immediately after the occlusion or reopening of the occluded superior mesenteric artery. Under our experimental conditions the measured concentrations of these substances in the portal vein blood are too low and ineffective for the development of peptic erosions in the stomach as observed after occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. On the other hand a possible additiv effect of the underswelling concentrations in these different substances cannot be excluded.
