As PAF is implicated in portal hypertension and hyperdynamic circulation associated with liver cirrhosis, we characterised changes in the hepatic PAF system in experimental cirrhosis.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In rats made cirrhotic by carbon tetrachloride (CCl\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) administration for eight weeks, we determined hepatic levels of PAF and its cognate receptor, and the effects of PAF and PAF antagonist (BN52021) on portal and arterial pressure.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Compared with control rats, cirrhotic rats had higher hepatic PAF levels, higher apparent hepatic efflux of PAF, and higher PAF levels in arterial blood (p&lt;0.01, p&lt;0.01, p&lt;0.05, respectively). Relative to controls, cirrhotic livers had elevated hepatic PAF receptors (by mRNA and protein levels and [\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    H]PAF binding), higher (p&lt;0.01) baseline hepatic portal pressure, and an augmented (p\u200a=\u200a0.03) portal pressure response to PAF infusion (1 \u03bcg\/kg). Portal infusion of BN52021 (5 mg\/kg) showed that elevated endogenous PAF was responsible for 23% of the cirrhotic portal pressure increase but made no contribution to systemic hypotension. Finally, increased PAF receptor density was observed in the contractile perisinusoidal stellate cells isolated from cirrhotic livers relative to those from control livers.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In cirrhosis, increased hepatic release of PAF elevates systemic PAF; in combination with upregulated hepatic PAF receptors in stellate cells, this contributes to portal hypertension.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.2003.024893","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,5,11]],"date-time":"2004-05-11T18:48:20Z","timestamp":1084301300000},"page":"877-883","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Increased hepatic platelet activating factor (PAF) and PAF receptors in carbon tetrachloride induced liver cirrhosis"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Y","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E M","family":"Nemoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S A K","family":"Harvey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V M","family":"Subbotin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C R","family":"Gandhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"C697","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpcell.1990.259.5.C697","volume":"259","year":"1990","journal-title":"Am J Physiol"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"617","DOI":"10.1042\/bj2920617","volume":"292","year":"1993","journal-title":"Biochem J"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"231","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-2760(94)00192-2","volume":"1254","year":"1995","journal-title":"Biochim Biophys Acta"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.biochem.69.1.419"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1669","DOI":"10.1152\/physrev.2000.80.4.1669","volume":"80","year":"2000","journal-title":"Physiol Rev"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0167-5699(92)90149-2"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.7","first-page":"75","volume":"1","year":"1989","journal-title":"J Lipid Mediat"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.115.1.223"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"866","DOI":"10.1248\/bpb1978.6.866","volume":"6","year":"1983","journal-title":"J Pharmacobiodyn"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"282","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(92)91124-M","volume":"103","year":"1992","journal-title":"Gastroenterology"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1468","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9258(17)43430-2","volume":"259","year":"1984","journal-title":"J Biol Chem"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.12","first-page":"G471","volume":"260","year":"1991","journal-title":"Am J Physiol"},{"key":"2025121307411538000_53.6.877.13","unstructured":"Rakela J, Krowka MJ.
