Gender differences in vascular reactivity of mesenteric arterioles in portal hypertensive and non-portal hypertensive rats.

CONCLUSION: Clear gender differences were observed in mesenteric vascular reactivity in CCl4-induced cirrhotic and PHT rats. Conservation of estrogen can retain the sensitivity of the mesenteric arterioles to vasoconstrictors and has a protective effect on splanchnic vascular function in PHT.
