Capacitance responses and fluid exchange in the cat liver during stimulation of the hepatic nerves.

چکیده
Techniques are described to study the hepatic vascular bed in the anesthetized cat without interference with the hepatic artery or portal vein. Liver volume was recorded with a plethysmograph while simultaneous recordings were made of arterial and portal pressures and total hepatic blood flow. Hepatic venous pressure could be raised to any desired level, and capillary filtration coefficients could therefore be determined. The hepatic blood volume was 27 ± 3.3 ml/100 g liver (14% of the total blood volume of the cat). Stimulation of the hepatic nerves decreased liver volume. Maximal responses were reached at frequencies of about 6/sec, and 50% of the blood in the liver was expelled. The hepatic vascular bed is thus an important blood reservoir. The capillary filtration coefficient was 0.30 ± 0.03 ml/min/mm Hg/100 g, and this value was not significantly changed during stimulation of the hepatic nerves. ADDITIONAL

Blood mobilization from the liver of the anaesthetized dog.
The abdominal circulation contains a high proportion of the total blood volume and this can change either passively in response to changes in vascular distending pressure or actively (termed a capacitance response) to changes in sympathetic nervous activity. The liver is the largest abdominal organ and this study was designed to evaluate its potential contribution to overall vascular capacitanc...
متن کاملMelatonin Protective Effects against Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a common phenomenon during liver surgery, transplantation, infection and trauma which results in damage and necrosis of the hepatic tissue through different pathways. Mechanisms involved in I/R damage are very intricate and cover several aspects. Several factors are involved in I/R-induced damages; briefly, decrease in sinusoidal perfusion and ATP generatio...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of nanocarrier of magnetic isotope of 25-Mg2+ (PMC16) in liver toxicity, ATP content and oxidative stress due to malathion (MAL) exposure. PMC16 nanoparticles were administered in different doses (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 LD50) intravenously (iv) 40 minutes after a single MAL (0.25 LD50= 207 mg/kg) intraperitoneal (ip) injection as a compl...
