This study investigated the effects of the short-term administration of propranolol on gastric blood perfusion in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertensive gastropathy. Portal hypertensive gastropathy is a common cause of nonvariceal bleeding in cirrhosis, which is associated with increased gastri

This study investigated the effect of vasopressin on portal-systemic collaterals in portal hypertensive rats and the influence of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin on the responsiveness of collateral vessels to vasopressin. The vascular responsiveness to graded concentrations of vasopressin was te
Present investigations support major contributions from increases in both portal blood flow and portal vascular resistance in the mechanism that maintains portal hypertension. B-Adrenergic blockers have been shown to reduce the elevated portal blood flow component. The possibility that nitroglycerin
We recently reported that ritanserin, a 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonist, induced significant reduction of portal pressure in cirrhotic rats. In this study, we investigated the hemodynamic effects of a combination of propranolol and ritanserin in conscious and unrestrained cirrhotic rats. Hep
