This is an in-vitro study of isolated proximal porcine pulmonary arterial rings exposed to hypoxia. Even when the rings were denuded of endothelium, hypoxia caused a contractile response that persisted in the presence of indomethacin and L-NAME.

A video microscope was used to assess the diameter of subpleural arterioles and venules in isolated canine lung lobes. Hypoxia caused constriction that was reversed by nitric oxide suggesting the potential for intra-acinar V/Q matching.
