Abstract

Background: In liver cirrhosis nitric oxide (NO) signaling, including function of its receptor soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), is distorted. The sGC stimulator riociguat (RIO) is used as treatment for pulmonary hypertension and it has been shown that RIO acts antifibrotic. We thus aimed to investigate effects of RIO on experimental liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
