Superoxide and nitric oxide production by Kupffer cells in rats with obstructive jaundice: Effect of internal and external drainage

Background and Aims:  The role of Kupffer cells in obstructive jaundice (OJ) has not been fully understood. The aims of the present study were to measure superoxide and nitric oxide (NO) production by Kupffer cells in experimental OJ in rats and to investigate the response to internal and external biliary drainage.
