Abstract | AIM: METHODS: RESULTS: There were significant differences in PVP (17.9 ± 0.91 vs 23.3 ± 3.91 cmH(2) O; P < 0.01) and HTBF (16.6 ± 1.72 vs 13.3 ± 1.82 mL/min; P < 0.01) between the BDL + Sp and BDL groups. In the liver of BDL rats, eNOS phosphorylation and NOx levels were decreased, accompanied by RhoA activation compared with the BDL + Sp group. Splenectomy decreased serum ET-1 levels, RhoA activation and consequently increased eNOS phosphorylation. CONCLUSION:
