Abstract		During biliary cirrhosis in rats, organic anion-transporting peptides (Oatps) and ATP-dependent multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2) that are likely to transport the contrast agent Gd-BOPTA through hepatocytes are down-regulated. However, the consequences of such down-regulation on the signal intensity (SI) enhancement are unknown. Consequently, the aim of our study was to measure the hepatic SI enhancement during Gd-BOPTA perfusion as well as the Oatp and Mrp2 expression in normal and cirrhotic livers.
