Abstract
Ten healthy subjects have been given before and after treatment with phenobarbital the following intravenous charges: a) nicotinic acid; b) rifamicyn-SV; c) simultaneous administration of the two drugs. Along with confirmatory evidence of the wellknown increase in bilirubinaemia (prevalently unconjugated), we have observed phenobarbital to attempts partially yet significantly that effect. On the base of direct experience on rat liver, we hypothise phenobarbital to increase the pool of the Y protein carrying cholephilic organic anions into the hepatocytes.
