Inhibition of Untransformed Prostaglandin H2 Production and Stretch-Induced Contraction of Rabbit Pulmonary Arteries by Indoxam, a Selective Secretory Phospholipase A2 Inhibitor
Involvement of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) in the stretch-induced production of untransformed prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) in the endothelium of rabbit pulmonary arteries was investigated. The stretch-induced contraction was significantly inhibited by indoxam, a selective inhibitor for sPLA2, and...
