Test No.	C1014
Test Price	Not available
Description	Isolated aorta preparations will be used to study vascular contractility. Aorta will be precontracted with phenylephrine and exposed to increasing concentrations of acetycholine. Isometric force will be measured to determine endothelium-dependant response to stimulation. In addition, spontaneous mechanical activity of the portal vein will be quantified in terms of frequency, on-time, off-time, the tension-time integral and the maximum positive and negative dF/dt.
