Smooth muscle in the hepatic artery, portal vein and hepatic vein within the liver of the raccoon and guinea pig

V L Yeager et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

The amount and arrangement of smooth muscle in the intrahepatic vessels suggests that the guinea pig would be a good animal model for studying mechanisms controlling intrahepatic portal vein blood flow, while the raccoon would be good for studying hepatic vein mechanisms of control.
