Regulation of rat intrapulmonary arterial tone by arachidonic acid and prostaglandin E2 during hypoxia.
Arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolites, prostaglandins (PG) are known to be involved in regulation of vascular homeostasis including vascular tone and vessel wall tension, but their potential role in Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) remains unclear.
