Abstract Background The role of adenosine and ATP in the regulation of hepatic arterial blood flow in the buffer response was studied in vitro and in a new in vivo model in the rabbit. The model achieves portal-systemic diversion by insertion of a silicone rubber prosthesis between the portal vein and inferior vena cava and avoids alterations in systemic haemodynamics. Results Hepatic arterial HA blood flow increased in response to reduced portal venous PV blood flow the buffer response from ml min-1 100 g-1 to ml min-1 100 g-1 mean SE p Student s paired t-test . This represented a buffering capacity of . Intra-portal injections of ATP or adenosine 1 micrograms mg kg-1 elicited immediate increases in HA blood flow to give -log ED50 values of and mg kg-1 for ATP and adenosine respectively. Injection
