“…In rats, compounds with antioxidant activities have been found to inhibit pulmonary hypertension and/or right ventricular dysfunction. Such compounds include probucol (19), N-acetylcysteine (16,23), tempol (9,20), erdosteine (46), allicin (43), pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (17,39), superoxide dismutase (22), allopurinol (20), sulfur dioxide (21), resveratrol (7,52), and EUK-134 (35). In neonatal lambs with persistent pulmonary hypertension, superoxide dismutase was found to improve oxygenation, reduce oxidation (24), restore endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression and function (10), and normalize phosphodiesterase 5 (11).…”
