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

Anti-tumor necrosis factor โฃ (TNF-โฃ) treatment decreases nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and ameliorates the hyperdynamic circulation in portal hypertensive rats. We have recently demonstrated that nitric oxide synthase isoform 3 (NOS3) is overexpressed in portal hypertensive gastric mucosa and that res
Increased nitric oxide (NO) release has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the hyperdynamic circulation in portal hypertension. NOS 3 (eNOS) causes NO release from the endothelium in response to physical stimuli, such as increased blood flow and shear stress. We evaluated the functional activity
Acetaminophen is a mild analgesic and antipyretic agent known to cause centrilobular hepatic necrosis at toxic doses. Although this may be due to a direct interaction of reactive acetaminophen metabolites with hepatocyte proteins, recent studies have suggested that cytotoxic mediators produced by pa
