REGULATION OF HUMAN LYMPH CONTRACTILITY BY PROSTAGLANDINS AND THROMBOXANE

Authors: , ,

Abstract

Thromboxane A2 (TXA2), but not prostacyclin (PGI2), plays an important role in human lymph vessel contraction. Paradoxically, whereas substantial amounts of PGI2 are detectable in human lymphatics, TXA2 is undetectable and probably derives from surrounding tissues.
