Gap junctions support the sustained phase of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction by facilitating calcium sensitization
AIMS: To determine the role of gap junctions (GJs) in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). METHODS AND RESULTS: Studies were performed in rat isolated intrapulmonary arteries (IPAs) mounted on a myograph and in anaesthetized rats. Hypoxia induced a biphasic HPV response in IPAs preconstricted w...
