Abstract:
Acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) plays an important role in physiological regulation. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Ilexonin A on hemodynamics and HPV, and their relation to prostaglandins (PG_(?)) and leukotrienes (LT_(?)).The results show that the high pulmonary vascular resistance induced by Ilexonin A in normoxic rats may be partially caused by the increased LTs and have no relation to PGs. Ilexonin A may potentiate HPV at least by two ways: replacing the production of PGs (especially PGI_2) in hypoxic Wistar rats, and increasing LTs production.
