Portal hypertension is associated with splanchnic hyperemia and increased plasma levels of prostacyclin. Recently, nitric oxide was proposed as a mediator of this arterial vasodilatation. We hypothesized that portal hypertension alters the relative contribution of prostacyclin and nitric oxide to sp
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
This study examined whether an increased activity of the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, nitric oxide, may account for the hyporesponsiveness to vasoconstrictors in portal hypertension. W e performed dose-response curves to methoxamine, an eadrenoceptor agonist, with and without N"dtr0-Larginin
