Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction does not limit maximal exercise capacity in healthy volunteers breathing 12% oxygen at sea level [PDF]
Maximal exercise capacity is reduced at altitude or during hypoxia at sea level. It has been suggested that this might reflect increased right ventricular afterload due to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. [PDF]
It has been known for more than 60 years, and suspected for over 100, that alveolar hypoxia causes pulmonary vasoconstriction by means of mechanisms local to the lung. For the last 20 years, it has been clear that the essential sensor, transduction, and effector mechanisms responsible for hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) reside in the pulmonary

Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction [PDF]
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is a homeostatic mechanism that, in the adult animal, diverts desaturated, mixed venous blood from poorly ventilated (hypoxic) areas of the lung to other, better ventilated (normoxic) areas of lung. Because of the relatively small amount of actively metabolizing tissue in the lungs, the proximity of the small ...

Cytochrome P450 Epoxygenase-Dependent Activation of TRPV4 Channel Participates in Enhanced Serotonin-Induced Pulmonary Vasoconstriction in Chronic Hypoxic Pulmonary Hypertension [PDF]
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a multi-functional non-selective channel expressed in pulmonary vasculatures. TRPV4 contributes to serotonin- (5-HT-) induced pulmonary vasoconstriction and is responsible in part for the enhanced 5-HT ...

Mitochondrial transplantation attenuates hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. [PDF]
Hypoxia triggers pulmonary vasoconstriction, however induces relaxation of systemic arteries such as femoral arteries. Mitochondria are functionally and structurally heterogeneous between different cell types. The aim of this study was to reveal whether mitochondrial heterogeneity controls the distinct responses of pulmonary versus systemic artery ...

Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction [PDF]
Reduction in alveolar oxygen tension causes reversible hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), which is thought to serve as an adaptive mechanism for diverting blood flow from poorly ventilated to better-ventilated regions of the lung to improve ventilation-perfusion matching.
