In the isolated perfused liver of the dog, cooling produced vasoconstriction in the hepatic arterial bed and, particularly, in thee vascular bed of the portal vein. Raising the temperature to 40 degrees C dilated the portal venous bed but did not change hepatic arterial resistance. The portal venous bed is very sensitive to variations in temperature.
