Cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) releases arachidonic acid (AA) from phospholipids in cell membranes. To assess the role of cPLA(2) in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), we measured the increase in left lung pulmonary vascular resistance (LPVR) before and during hypoxia produced by l...
