Figure 3. Ex-vivo assessment of liver circulation.
Portal Perfusion Pressure (PPP) in CafD (n = 12) and CD rats (n = 12) in the absence (A) or the presence (B) of the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Livers from rats fed cafeteria diet showed an increased PPP. No differences were observed in the presence of SNP (CD: control diet; CafD: cafeteria diet).
