Effect of propranolol on the splanchnic and peripheral renin angiotensin system in cirrhotic patients

Table 4 Ratios between angiotensins in splanchnic circulation of patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) pre-treated with propranolol or not

Angiotensin ratios	LT with propranolol (n = 10)	LT without propranolol (n = 11)
Ang II/Ang I	0.46 (0.26-2.64)	0.19 (0.13-0.24)a
Ang-(1-7)/Ang I	0.27 (0.06-0.91)	0.05 (0.04-0.11)
Ang-(1-7)/Ang II	0.43 ± 0.08	0.52 ± 0.12

Data are expressed as mean ± SE or median (25 and 75 percentile).

^aP < 0.05 for the comparison of LT with propranolol and LT without propranolol (unpaired t test for mean comparisons and Mann-Whitney test for median comparisons).
