Abstract
Eating might be expected to change vessel size within the portal venous system. The diameters of the portal and superior mesenteric veins were measured in 13 normal individuals using B-mode ultrasound, initially fasting and then following a meal. A 50% increase in the diameter of both vessels occurred 30 min-1 h after a meal. The significance of this is discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
