The prooxidant-antioxidant balance during liver ischemia-reperfusion in rats was investigated after administration of a Kupffer cell blocker - gadolinium (III) chloride - and/or NO synthase inhibitor - L-NAME. It was detected, that Kupffer cells potentiate endothelial dysfunction by activating free radical processes and disrupt the production of nitrogen monoxide during liver ischemia-reperfusion.
