At high concentrations, it may be that NO reaches pulmonary vessels perfusing non-ventilated lung areas and worsens arterial oxygenation by inhibiting hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction as observed in patients 1, 2, 6, 8 and 15.
This is supported by the fact that the extent of hypoxic induction of VEGF-A in monocytes correlates strongly with the presence of collateral vessels in patients [ 29].
As a matter of fact, although the percentage of lung consolidation tended to be greater in patients without septic shock (63 vs 57%), their mean PaO 2 tended to be higher (95 ± 16 vs 88 ± 11 mmHg), suggesting some degree of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction impairment in the non-ventilated lung areas of patients with septic shock.
During exercise, slow twitch motor units serving oxidative fibers are recruited first during moderate exercise, and motor units serving glycolytic fibers are recruited later and during more severe exercise [ 1 ] . This is in contrast to electrical stimulation of sufficient intensity where all motor units are thought to be activated simultaneously [ 31 ] . The larger regional difference in VEGF mRNA signal after electrical stimulation may be due to the fact that this protocol was more metabolically demanding than the treadmill exercise protocol, or indeed because the rat muscle was hypoxic during electrical stimulation.
This observation of increased susceptibility to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in younger, developing animals is in agreement with previous reports [ 20, 21].
