Mast cell stabilizing compound FPL 55618 reduces right ventricular hypertrophy and lung mast cell hyperplasia in chronically hypoxic rats

Abstract
Rats treated with chronic hypobaric hypoxia (21 days, 380 Torr) and mast cell stabilizing compund FPL 55618 had significantly less right ventricular hypertrophy and lung mast cell hyperplasia than rats subjected to chronic hypoxia alone. Right ventricular blood pressure was not reduced.
