BACKGROUND SHS causes coronary and peripheral arterial endothelial dysfunction. METHODS The effects of L-arginine supplementation (2.25% solution) and SHS (10 weeks) on pulmonary vascular reactivity were examined in 32 rabbits...

متن کاملRole of chymase in cigarette smoke-induced pulmonary artery remodeling and pulmonary hypertension in hamsters
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking is an important risk factor for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chymase has been shown to function in the enzymatic production of angiotensin II (AngII) and the activation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 in the cardiovascular system. The aim of this study was to determine the potential role of chymase ...
