Fig. 2. Original tension recordings showing the effects of hypoxia
(PO2<5 mmHg) on an alligator intrapulmonary
artery, internal circumference 1086 µm, preconstricted with endothelin-1
(ET-1; 10–8 mol l–1). The hypoxic
constriction is compared to the constriction induced by KPSS (60 mmol
l–1). The degree of relaxation with acetylcholine (ACh;
10–5 mol l–1) verifies an intact
endothelium; W, wash with PSS.
