Hepato-cardiovascular response and its regulation

Table 3 Changes in MAP, ABF and AR following intraportal injection of microspheres (5.6×106) and infusion of Haemaccel (2 mL) via the jugular vein in group 5 of experiment 2.

	Basal	Microsphere injection	Haemaccel injection
MAP (kPa)	12.8±0.5	7.6±0.3b	11.6±0.4ad
ABF (mL/min/ 100 g body weight)	4.4±0.2	3.4±0.2b	5.6±0.4bd
AR (kPa/mL/min/ 100 g body weight)	2.9±0.1	2.3±0.1b	2.1±0.1b

MAP, mean arterial pressure; ABF, aortic blood flow; AR, aortic resistance.

^aP<0.05;

^bP<0.01 vs Basal.

^dP<0.01 vs Microsphere injection.
