Do hepatic inflow vessels caliber as an index for liver function?
Hepatic inflow vessels' caliber change, particularly increase in hepatic artery diameter, has a potential of suggesting the liver function to some extent.
Endothelial PTP1B deletion improves cardiac VEGF signalling and angiogenesis and protects against chronic afterload-induced heart failure. PTP1B may represent a useful target to preserve cardiac function during hypertrophy.
