To characterize the role of oxidative stress in cultured rat sinusoidal endothelial cells, we studied the production of superoxide after reoxygenation, the relationship of reduced glutathione (GSH) levels to cell injury, and the protective efficacy of antioxidants. Hypoxia (pO 2 1-2 mm Hg) was achie

Depletion of sinusoidal endothelial cell glutathione (GSH) has been proposed as a common mechanism leading to hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD). This study examines whether intraportal infusion of GSH can prevent HVOD in the monocrotaline rat model. HVOD was induced in rats with monocrotaline 16
We determined the functional role of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelins (ET), two potent vasoactive mediator systems in the liver, for the pathogenesis of sinusoidal perfusion failure and lethal hepatocyte injury after low-flow ischemia/reperfusion in the isolated perfused rat liver.

## Abstract Cardiomyocyte apoptosis is a component of cardiac remodeling that can contribute to heart failure in obesity. A role for leptin in mediating this process has been suggested and the objective of this work was to investigate the effect of leptin on apoptosis and associated mechanisms in H
It has been shown that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays key roles in the development of fibrosis in numerous organs, including the liver. Other studies have suggested that the RAS also may play roles in diseases of chronic inflammation. However, whether the RAS also can mediate acute inflamm
