GH1 and pulmonary hypertension: Herein, we describe our approach of utilizing synchrotron radiation microangiography to, first, ascertain whether the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) hexarelin is a vasodilator in the coronary circulation of normal and anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, and next investigate if hexarelin is able to prevent the pathogenesis of right ventricle (RV) dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension in the sugen chronic hypoxia model rat.
