In order to investigate the effects of Artemisia on bile flow, the bile volume and the activities of Na^+·K^+-ATPase in liver plasma membrane and liver homogenate were examined in rats orally administered methanol extract of Artemisiae messer-schmidtiana Besser var. viridis Besser for 3 days.
In the case of bile juice, the flow rate was increased 30∼70%. The activities of Na^+·K^+-ATPase was increased to 2.5 fold in liver homogenate and 2.1 fold in liver plasma membrane.
On the other hand activities of Mg^++-ATPase was slightly increased in both liver homogenate and liver plasma membrane.
