Among several non-invasive methods of liver fat analysis, the most important role is played by MR imaging and spectroscopy (MRS). This study describes the 1H MRS at 3T measurement of liver fat volume fraction Φ(fat) in a group of liver transplant patients, an at-risk group for the development of de novo steatosis.

    We investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in the rat placenta. A nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, N(G)-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME), was constantly infused into pregnant rats 6-24 h before sacrifice on gestational day (GD) 1...
