Prevention of bronchial hyperreactivity in a rat model of precapillary pulmonary hypertension

Published inRespiratory research, vol. 12, 58
Publication date2011
Abstract

The development of bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) subsequent to precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PHT) was prevented by acting on the major signalling pathways (endothelin, nitric oxide, vasoactive intestine peptide (VIP) and prostacyclin) involved in the control of the pulmonary vascular and bronchial tones.
