C1q/TNF-related protein-9 ameliorates hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension by regulating secretion of endothelin-1 and nitric oxide mediated by AMPK in rats
Abstract Injury/dysfunction of the endothelium of pulmonary arteries contributes to hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH). We investigated whether C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein-9 (CTRP9), a newly identified cardiovascular agent, has protective roles in the development of HPH. HPH...
