    Endothelin receptor antagonist and airway dysfunction in pulmonary arterial hypertension

    In idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), peripheral airway obstruction is frequent. This is partially attributed to the mediator dysbalance, particularly an excess of endothelin-1 (ET-1), to incre...

    Blockade of A1 adenosine receptors prevents the ischaemia-induced sensitisation of adenylyl cyclase: evidence for a protein kinase C-mediated pathway

    Objective: Acute myocardial ischaemia leads to a transient sensitisation of adenylyl cyclase which may contribute to the occurrence of malignant arrhythmias and the propagation of myocardial necrosis. It is prev...
