Hypercapnia attenuates hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by inhibiting lung radical injury.
Chronic lung hypoxia results in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Concomitant chronic hypercapnia partly inhibits the effect of hypoxia on pulmonary vasculature. Adult male rats exposed to 3 weeks hypoxia (Fi(02)=0.1) combined with hypercapnia (Fi(C02)=0.04-0.05) had lower pulmonary arterial blood pressure, increased weight of the right heart ventricle, and less pronounced structural remodeling o...
متن کاملChronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia attenuates monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension via modulating inflammation and suppressing NF-κB /p38 pathway
Objective(s): Inflammation is involved in various forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Although the pathophysiology of PAH remains uncertain, NF-κB and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) has been reportedto be associated with many inflammatory mediators of PAH. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) on pulmonary inflammat...
متن کاملSustained therapeutic hypercapnia attenuates pulmonary arterial Rho-kinase activity and ameliorates chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in juvenile rats.
Sustained therapeutic hypercapnia prevents pulmonary hypertension in experimental animals, but its rescue effects on established disease have not been studied. Therapies that inhibit Rho-kinase (ROCK) and/or augment nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling can reverse or prevent progression of chronic pulmonary hypertension. Our objective in the present study was to det...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension, hypoxemia, and hypercapnia in obstructive sleep apnea patients.
To define the parameters of respiratory insufficiency in OSA, 114 consecutive patients (108 men, six women) were prospectively studied. In addition to standard polysomnography, they underwent pulmonary function tests, right heart catheterization, and ventilatory response tests to hypercapnia. Nineteen patients (19 percent) had a resting PAP greater than or equal to 20 mm Hg. Multiple regression...
متن کاملMitochondrial transplantation attenuates hypoxic pulmonary hypertension
Mitochondria are essential for the onset of hypoxia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction and pulmonary vascular-remodeling, two major aspects underlying the development of pulmonary hypertension, an incurable disease. However, hypoxia induces relaxation of systemic arteries such as femoral arteries and mitochondrial heterogeneity controls the distinct responses of pulmonary versus femoral artery ...
