Development of pulmonary arterial changes in rats fed Crotalaria spectabilis. [PDF]
The early changes in pulmonary artery structure and the timing and development of right ventricular hypertrophy were examined in rats after ingestion of Crotalaria spectabilis; the arteries were distended with a Micropaque--gelatin mixture. The earliest change, detected at Day 3, is the appearance of new muscle in normally nonmuscular arteries ...
