Zhang et al., J Appl Physiol 2007
(Hepatopulmonary Syndrome) :
In rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, PTX inhibited shear stress induced ET ( B ) receptor and eNOS expression and eNOS activation
Wessely et al., Thromb Haemost 2007
(Coronary Restenosis) :
PTX increased eNOS activity and nitric oxide ( NO ) release from CAEC
Vaziri et al., Am J Physiol 1998
(Kidney Failure, Chronic) :
Calcium channel blockade and PTX lowered blood pressure, increased urinary NOX, and enhanced vascular NOS activity, as well as eNOS and iNOS protein expressions in the tested tissues
