Chemical compound and disease context of Portal Pressure

 

Biological context of Portal Pressure

  • Furthermore, ICI 118551 selective beta 2-adrenergic blockade offers portal blood flow and portal pressure reduction independent of reduction in cardiac output, which could be uniquely advantageous in situations where impairment of cardiac compensatory mechanisms might prove deleterious [14].
  • ANP at physiological concentrations reduced both PE-induced increases of portal pressure in a dose-dependent fashion, reaching half-maximal effects around 20 pmol/L and maximal effects (about 50% inhibition of PE-induced vasoconstriction) at 40 pmol/L [15].
  • STARTING POINT: David Patch and colleagues (Gastroenterology 2002; 123: 1013-19) randomised 102 patients surviving a variceal bleeding to EBL or drug therapy with propranolol with the addition of ISMN if target reductions in portal pressure (evaluated by the hepatic venous pressure-gradient [HVPG]) were not achieved at 3 months [16].
  • In sham-operated rats, clonidine reduced portal pressure presumably by decreasing hepatic portal vascular resistance, since no significant change in portal tributary blood flow was observed [17].
  • The hepatic venous pressure gradient, used as an index of portal pressure, significantly decreased after ketanserin (-23%) [18].

Gene context of Portal Pressure

  • The purpose of the present study was to assess the correlation that likely exists among increased portal pressure (Pp), portal blood flow quantity (Qp) and ETA and ETB receptor mRNA expression in human cirrhosis [28].
  • Endothelin A receptor blockade was not associated with significant changes in arterial and portal pressure in any group of animals [3].
  • Endothelin-stimulated contraction of stellate cells in cirrhotic liver may contribute to increased intrahepatic resistance and portal pressure [29].
  • Sarafotoxin S6C, an endothelin B (ETB) receptor agonist, had minor effects on portal pressure when perfused into normal livers at concentrations known to elicit stellate cell contraction (2 nmol/L) [29].
  • This study evaluates the acute effects of albumin dialysis, using the Molecular Adsorbents Recirculating System (MARS), on portal pressure in AH [30].
