Figure 2 Livers are isolated and perfused at a constant velocity. Any change of pressure will be directly proportional to the resistance offered by sinusoids to the flow of a buffer solution according to Ohm’s low applied to fluid-dynamic (ΔP = flow X resistance). This allows measuring the intrahepatic resistance offered by sinusoids.
