We describe a method for experimental assessment of endothelial dysfunction in an isolated using extracorporeal machine perfusion and vasoactive substrates agents (norepinephrine and acetylcholine). Quantitative assessment of endothelial vasomotor dysfunction was proposed, based on registration of changes in volumetric perfusate flow rate through the isolated vessel. Functional activity of the isolated aorta endothelium and total content of stable NO degradation products in blood plasma were studied in outbred white male rats after subtotal liver resection. Impaired vasodilation ability of the aorta and increased content of NO degradation products in blood plasma observed after surgery indicate the development of vasomotor endothelial dysfunction associated with oxidative stress, cholemia, and endotoxemia.
