These results indicate that lysophosphatidic acid stimulated heart function under in vivo but not in vitro conditions. The positive inotropic effect of lysophosphatidic acid in vivo may be indirectly mediated by the activation of neurokinin type 1 receptors.
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.
