REGULATION OF HUMAN LYMPH CONTRACTILITY BY PROSTAGLANDINS AND THROMBOXANE

H Sinzinger, J Kaliman, E Mannheimer

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.
