Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary adventitial fibroblasts (PAFs) are activated under stress stimuli leading to their differentiation into myofibroblasts, which is involved in vessel remodeling. 15-HETE is known as an important factor in vessel remodeling under hypoxia; however, the role of 15-HETE in PAF phenotypic alteration is not clear. RESULTS: The effect of 15-HETE on PAF phenotypic alterations was investigated in the...
