Increased Lung Uric Acid Deteriorates Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated that uric acid (UA) enhances arginase activity, resulting in decreased NO in endothelial cells. However, the role of lung UA in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) remains uncertain. We hypothesized that increased lung UA level contributes to the progre...
