Simvastatin effects on portal-systemic collaterals of portal hypertensive rats.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a strong promoter of gastric cancer. We hypothesized that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induced by NaCl may be involved in its promoting effects. We investigated iNOS expression by hypertonic NaCl solutions and its pathophysiological roles in the gastric mucosa of rats and ...
