CIRCULATING VASCULAR  ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AND NITRIC OXIDE IN PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS: A  POSSIBLE ASSOCIATION WITH LIVER FUNCTION IMPAIRMENT
Hemodynamic disorders of liver cirrhosis complicated with portal hypertension are associated with an increased angiogenesis in animal model of portal hypertension and cirrhosis which were linked to increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitric oxide (NO). The aim of study was to evaluate the serum concentration of VEGF and total nitric oxide (NO) in liver cirrhosis and ... Read more
