Hyperoxia downregulates angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 in human fetal lung fibroblasts.

abstract：:Tolazoline is used in neonatal intensive care to treat hypoxia secondary to persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. Its use is often complicated by systemic hypotension. We compared the effect of tolazoline-induced hypotension on organ blood flow, regional brain blood flow, and cerebral metabolism in hypoxic...
