Both Ca 2+ -dependent and -independent pathways are involved in rat hepatic stellate cell contraction and intrahepatic hyperresponsiveness to methoxamine

In chronic liver injury, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) have been implicated as regulators of sinusoidal vascular tone. We studied the relative role of Ca 2+ -dependent and Ca 2+ -independent contraction pathways in rat HSCs and correlated these findings to in situ perfused cirrhotic rat livers. Cont...
