The inhibition by CO of the hypoxic responses in the two for- mer cell types has led to the proposal that a haemopro- tein is involved in the detection of the PO2 levels. Here, we report the effect of CO on the hypoxic pulmonary va- soconstriction (HPV). Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP)was measured in an in situ, blood-perfused lung prepara- tion.
