Effect of CH on the mPAP, RV weight index, pulmonary arteriole wall, and intima-media thickness (mean ± SD) of the rats.
| Groups | Mean arterial pressure (mmHg) | RV (LV+S) | Outer diameter (mm) | Canal wall thickness (mm) | Intima-media thickness (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NC group | 16.8±2.3 | 0.28±0.03 | 81.31±2.8 | 10.57±2.6 | 3.6±0.8 |
| CH group | 33.7±7.9a | 0.46±0.06a | 86.61±6.1 | 21.3±4.4a | 8.8±1.6a |
P<0.05 vs. NC. CH, chronic hypoxia; mPAP, mean pulmonary arterial pressure; RV, right ventricular; NC, normoxia control.
