| Abstract: | Summary Rats treated with chronic hypobaric hypoxia (21 days, 380 Torr) and mast cell stabilizing compund FPL 55618 had significantly less right ventricular hypertrophy and lung mast cell hyperplasia than rats subjected to chronic hypoxia alone. Right ventricular blood pressure was not reduced.Compound FPL 55618 was kindly donated by Mr P. Sheard of Fisons Ltd Pharmaceutical Division, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 OQY England.This study was supported by grants from the Medical Research Council of Canada and St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation. |
