Methods: Rats were injected with a single dose (60 mg/kg, sc) of MCT and given CPU 86017 (20, 40, and 80 mgdotkg-1dotd-1, po) or saline for 28 d. The hemodynamics, mRNA expression, and vascular activity were evaluated.
Results: Right ventricular systolic pressure and central venous pressures were elevated markedly in the PAH model and decreased by CPU 86017. In the PAH group, the endothelin-1 (ET-1) in serum and lungs was dramatically increased by 54% (79.9 pg/mL, P},
