Pulmonary vasodilator activity of prostacyclin (PGI2) in the cat.

abstract：RATIONALE:Pulmonary hypertensive remodeling is characterized by excessive proliferation, migration, and proinflammatory activation of adventitial fibroblasts. In culture, fibroblasts maintain a similar activated phenotype. The mechanisms responsible for generation/maintenance of this phenotype remain unknown. OBJECTIV...
