Vascular changes of mesenteric arterioles and portosystemic shunting (PSS) analysis. A Representative H&E staining figures of mesenteric arterioles. B Vascular wall of mesenteric arterioles became thinner, and C the lumen diameter was increased significantly in BDL rats. D and E The mesenteric arterioles of BDL rats showed remarkably hypo-responsiveness after NE exposure. F The stress-induced myogenic contraction was impaired in BDL rats. G Shunting degree: BDL rats had more severe PSS than sham operated rats. (Sham, n = 6, BDL, n = 6; *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01)
