[ 1 ] - Developmental changes in Endothelin-1 and Endothelin type A receptor expression in the lungs of chickens (Broiler versus layer)

Background: Broilers lung mechanisms that regulate endothelin (ET) in the lung are complex and poorly understood. Objectives: Methods: In this experiment lung ET-1 mRNA levels and lung mRNA expression for the ET(A) receptors were determined in lung tissue weekly (term = 42 days, intervals = 7 days). Serum endothelin concentration was also measured at these ages. Results: The study showed that e...
