alpha-Methyldopa was intraarterially and orally administered to dogs at two dose levels in a randomized complete crossover design. The appearance of secondary peaks in the plasma concentration-time profiles indicated the presence of enterohepatically recycled methyldopa. This was established by the absence of a secondary peak following readministration of a dose after biliary cannulation and the detection of methyldopa in the bile of a cannulated dog.
