Endocannabinoid anandamide mediates hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 SignificanceHypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is an important physiological reflex, which is only found in the lung and adapts perfusion to ventilation. HPV is potentially involved in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) occurring in respiratory disorders.
