Altered Prostanoid Metabolism Contributes to Impaired Angiogenesis in Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn

BACKGROUND: PPHN is associated with decreased lung angiogenesis and impaired pulmonary vasodilatation at birth. Prostanoids are important modulators of vascular tone and angiogenesis. We hypothesized that altered levels of prostacyclin (PGI(2)), a potent vasodilator, and thromboxane (TXA(2)), a vaso...
