[The mechanism and pulmonary-protective effects of endothelin-1 receptor antagonist in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases rat model].
To investigate whether the endothelin (ET) receptor antagonists have protective role in the development of emphysema. ⋯ ET-1 may have an important role in the pathological process of emphysema and ET receptor antagonists protect against the development of emphysema probably by decelerating apoptosis, inhibiting proteolytic enzyme activity and reducing inflammatory cytokine levels.
