Figure 3 Aortic inflammatory mediators in triple partial vein ligated-rats at 22 mo after postoperative evolution. Increased aortic mRNA expression of tumoral necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-6, are associated with the increased expression of mRNA levels of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)/NF-κB inhibitor (IκB) ratio. SO: Sham-operated rats; PPH: Prehepatic portal hypertensive rats. aP < 0.05, statistically significant value in regards to SO-rats.
