【 摘 要 】

Infection of rats with the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, impaired the responses of the perfused liver to calcium uptake and glucose release induced by the synergistic action of glucagon and vasopressin. Treatment of infected rats with dexamethasone prevented the impairment of each of these two responses.
