Mean values of arterial blood pressure (ABP), portal venous pressure (PVP), portal venous blood flow (PVBF), hepatic oxygen tension (PO 2 ), hepatic vascular resistance (HVR), and bile flow at different time in response to D-GalN treatment. In D-GalN rats (n = 6), D-GalN significantly decreased the PVBF, PO2, and bile flow and increased HVR. In normal rats (n = 6), the hepatic vasoconstrictor effect was not found. * P < 0.05 vs. the control value (C). # P < 0.05 D-GalN vs. Normal.
