摘      要：IM To investigate the effects of somatostatin analog on splanchnic hemodynamics and plasma glucagon level in portal hypertensive rats.METHODS Twentyeight male SpragueDawley rats were divided into two groups: intrahepatic portal hypertension (IHPH, n=14) by injection of CCl4 and prehepatic portal hypertension (PHPH, n=14) by stenosis of the portal vein. Animals of each group were divided into two subgroups: injection of octreotide and injection of normal saline. Seven agematched normal rats served as controls. The mean systemic arterial pressure (MSAP) and free portal venous pressure (FPP) were measured. The splanchnic blood flow was detected by injection of toad blood red cell labelled with 51Cr and 125I·T3. The concentration of plasma glucagon was determined by radioimmunoassay.RESULTS Octreotide significantly decreased both the splanchnic blood flow and FPP in portal hypertensive rats, and markedly increased splanchnic vascular and portal venous resistance. Octreotide did not significantly lower the plasma glucagon levels in both the peripheral and the portal veins.CONCLUSION The decreased splanchnic blood flow induced by octreotide in portal hypertensive rats results mainly from direct vasoconstriction but less from decreased plasma glucagon level.
