A stimulus-response relation between graded hypoxia and blood flow diversion defines hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in the normal human lung. Hyperoxia has no significant effect on vascular resistance in the normal human lung.
These findings from this hypothesis generating study indicate that peripheral effects of NPY contribute less to cardiovascular stress reactions in patients on metoprolol than in those on atenolol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
