Hepatic Artery Flow and Propranolol Metabolism in Perfused Cirrhotic Rat Liver
Le Couteur, D; Hickey, Haruyo; Harvey, Peta; Gready, Jill; McLean, Allan J
Description
The oxygen limitation theory states that capillarization of the sinusoidal endothelium in cirrhosis impairs hepatocellular oxygen uptake manifesting as a reduction in oxygen-dependent enzyme activity including phase I drug metabolism. The hepatic artery supplies highly oxygenated blood to the liver. Therefore, we tested whether augmentation of hepatic arterial blood flow could improve hepatic oxygenation and function in cirrhosis. Rats were treated with carbon tetrachloride and phenobarbitone...[Show more]
