2 Fig. 1 Schematic diagram of the 2 study protocols 1 week apart. F, Bilateral FBF measurements each for 3 minutes; L, LBNP application each for 3 minutes. NE doses are in picomoles per minute, ANG II doses in picomoles per minute, and losartan doses in micrograms per minute.

3 Fig. 2 Responses in FBF to incremental doses of ANG II (pmol/min) and NE (pmol/min). NS, not significant. Results are mean ±SEM. Gastroenterology  , DOI: ( /S (00) ) Copyright © 2000 American Gastroenterological Association Terms and Conditions

4 Fig. 3 Responses in FBF to losartan infusions in the 3 studied groups. Results are mean ±SEM. *P < 0.01 by 3-way ANOVA; refractory ascites vs. preascitic cirrhosis and controls. Gastroenterology  , DOI: ( /S (00) ) Copyright © 2000 American Gastroenterological Association Terms and Conditions

5 Fig. 4 Responses in FBF to LBNP application in the 3 studied groups during saline (2), 30 μg/min losartan (▩), and 90 μg/min losartan (■) infusions. Results are mean ±SEM. *P < 0.01 by 3-way ANOVA; refractory ascites vs. preascitic cirrhosis and controls.
