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

Systemic and especially splanchnic arterial vasodilation accompany chronic portal hypertension. Different soluble mediators causing this vasodilation have been proposed, the strongest evidence being for nitric oxide (NO). No data exist if structural vascular changes may partly account for this vasod
This study investigates the effects of inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis by NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis with indomethacin and the combined effects on gastric mucosal hyperemia of ketamine-anesthetized rats with portal hypertension induced b
Anti-tumor necrosis factor β£ (TNF-β£) 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
