Abstract
Objective To observe and compare the changes of Intermedin's contents in plasma and bron-choalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Methods male Wistar rats were ran-domly divided into control group and 1,2 and 3 weeks hypoxia group. Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoal-veolar lavage fluid were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoalveo-lar lavage fluid were markedly increaseded compared with control group. Meanwhile transformational trend is consist-ent between plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage. Conclusions Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage increase ,which shows that there is protection and moderation to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Key words: Intermedin ; hypoxia; pulmonary hypertension
