Abstract excerpt
We investigated the function of proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) in the regulation of pulmonary microvascular permeability in response to thrombin challenge using PAR-1 knockout mice (-/-). Lungs were isolated and perfused with albumin (5 g/100 ml)-Krebs solution at constant flow (2 ml/min). Lung wet weight and pulmonary artery pressure (P(pa)) were continuously monitored. We determined the capillary...
