REGULATION OF HUMAN LYMPH CONTRACTILITY BY PROSTAGLANDINS AND THROMBOXANE

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.
