This study therefore was designed to examine the regulatory role of CGRP in the Wnt7b / β - catenin pathway in type II alveolar epithelial cell (AEC II) under hyperoxia. (thecmmr.org)
Results: In the rat lung, both Wnt7b and β - catenin proteins were detectable, and hyperoxia significantly increased Wnt7b and β - catenin protein expression. (thecmmr.org)
Whereas normal Po 2s were maintained at the inner and outer border of the avascular region during hyperoxia, Qav was not restored to normal, suggesting that other factors are involved in photoreceptor dysfunction during detachment in addition to insufficient oxygen delivery. (iovs.arvojournals.org)
