Endothelin is a newly discovered potent vasoconstrictor peptide. To explain the clinical significance of endothelin in patients with chronic liver diseases, we measured the plasma concentration of endothelin in patients with chronic hepatitis (n = 15), cirrhosis with ascites (n = 8) and cirrhosis wi
Two types of tumor necrosis factor receptors have been characterized, both capable of transmitting the signal and exerting the biological functions of TNF and lymphotoxin. We measured the plasma concentrations of two types of TNF binding proteins (sTNFR-A and sTNFR-B) in patients with rheumatoid art
The plasma metallothionein concentration was evaluated in healthy subjects and in patients with several types of liver disorders. Plasma metallothionein concentrations in controls varied between 2.4 and 4.8 ng/ml. Patients with disorders associated with increased liver copper concentrations (i.e., p
The aims of this study were to examine the plasma nitrate/nitrite (NOx; two end products of nitric oxide metabolism) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentrations in patients with liver cirrhosis, and to investigate whether there is a relationship between these two vasoactive parameters and the course of d
