1. Carbon tetrachloride liver damage in mice significantly prolonged the duration of effect of Pentothal Sodium and two other thiobarbiturates.
2. Subtotal hepatectomy in rats produced a significant prolongation of the duration of action of Pentothal.
3. Diminished blood flow through the liver, as produced by the Eck fistula technic in rats, increased the duration of action of Pentothal and the two other thiobarbiturates tested.
4. Pentothal was degraded in vitro by rat liver slices and mince.
