Background The importance of nitric oxide (NO) in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension has been demonstrated using nitric oxide synthase (NOS) knockout mice. In that model NO from endothelial NOS (eNOS) plays a central role…

Background: In order to test the hypothesis that inhaled nitric oxide (NO) reverses the pulmonary hypertension induced by αα-diaspirin crosslinked hemoglobin (ααHb), were studied anesthetized pigs that were administered…

Epidemiological studies have established that fenfluramine, D-fenfluramine, and aminorex, but not other appetite suppressants, increase the risk of primary pulmonary hypertension (PH). One current hypothesis suggests…
