Does pressure cause liver cirrhosis? The sinusoidal pressure hypothesis
Independent of their etiology, all chronic liver diseases ultimately lead to liver cirrhosis, which is a major health problem worldwide. The underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood and no efficient treatment strategies are available. This paper introduces the sinusoidal pressure hypothesis (SPH), which identifies an elevated sinusoidal pressure (SP) as cause of fibrosis. SPH...

متن کاملHow does salt raise blood pressure? A hypothesis.
Existing data in the literature indicate that alpha 2-adrenergic receptor agonists have a profound hypotensive action, that sodium attenuates the affinity of alpha 2-adrenergic receptors for agonists, that the location of these receptors in the central nervous system is mainly at the sites of cardiovascular regulation, and that these sites exert a constant tonic inhibition of sympathetic vasoco...
متن کاملGoat Meat Does Not Cause Increased Blood Pressure
While there are persistent rumors that the consumption of goat meat dishes increases blood pressure, there is no scientific evidence to support this. Two experiments were conducted to clarify whether or not blood pressure increases in conjunction with the consumption of goat meat dishes. In experiment 1, 24 Dahl/Iwai rats (15 weeks old, body weight 309.3±11.1 g) were evenly separated into 4 gro...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study into the Cause of the Increased Portal Pressure in Portal Cirrhosis
1. In the liver of portal cirrhosis there is a far freer communication between the arterial and portal currents than in the normal liver. 2. Factors contributing to the increased portal pressure in portal cirrhosis are (1) the direct communication of the arterial pressure to the portal vessels through dilated capillaries, (2) the larger volume-flow of the hepatic artery in proportion to the por...
