Abstract excerpt
The effects of pre-hepatic portal hypertension were examined on the responsiveness of aorta and mesenteric artery from wild-type, inducible nitric oxide synthase knockout (iNOS-KO) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase knockout (eNOS-KO) mice. Mice were sham-operated or made portal hypertensive by creating a calibrated portal vein stenosis. Acetylcholine produced marked relaxations in phenylephrine (10 microM)...
