Prostanoid physiological properties

Prostacyclin and its analogs (prostanoids) (Fig. 29.13) are potent vasodilators and possess antithrombotic and antiproliferative properties. Prostacyclin is derived from the endothelium of VSM, and its synthesis is reduced in patients with PAH. Its physiological antagonist, thromboxane A2, is increased, however, causing vasoconstriction. Prostacyclin produces its ... [Pg.1173]
