The effect of <i>n</i>‐butyl 2‐cyanoacrylate on liver function

Abstract

Abstract n ‐Butyl 2‐cyanoacrylate was implanted subcutaneously in dogs and eight different liver function tests were employed over a 6‐month period in order to determine the effect of the cyanoacrylate on liver function. The biochemical results indicated that all the values obtained were within the normal range of values reported for the dog. Pathological studies on all vital organs showed that the subcutaneously implanted cyanoacrylate polymer did not appear to cause harmful effects on the vital organs.
