Abstract
ET-1 levels in portal blood are significantly associated with portal blood flow and total hepatic blood flow in humans, and ratio of NOx to ET-1 is better indicators than either ET-1 or NOx alone. Although this study has limitations because it was carried out in a clinical setting, the data may contribute to the understanding of human hepatic hemodynamics.
