Effects of tetrahydrobiopterin oral treatment in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in rat.

abstract：:Radiotherapy as a primary treatment for thoracic malignancies induces deleterious effects, such as acute or subacute radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). Although the molecular etiology of RILI is controversial and likely multifactorial, a potentially important cellular target is the lung endothelial cytoskeleton tha...
