植物化感作用是指植物通过向环境释放化学物质,对周围植物（包括微生物）产生直接或间接的有害或有利的作用（Rice,1984）。同种植物间的化感作用被称为自毒作用（Hegde et al.,1990）,自毒作用广泛存在于植物森林生态系统中（Zeng et a...植物化感作用是指植物通过向环境释放化学物质,对周围植物（包括微生物）产生直接或间接的有害或有利的作用（Rice,1984）。同种植物间的化感作用被称为自毒作用（Hegde et al.,1990）,自毒作用广泛存在于植物森林生态系统中（Zeng et al.,2008）.展开更多

Porcine pulmonary artery endothelial and smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were cultured primarily, and they were divided into 4 groups: groups incubated under normoxia or hypoxia and those with or without treatment with 3, 4-DHAP. The [Ca~2+ ]_i of both PAECs and PASMCs was measured by determining the fluorescence of fura 2 AM on spetrofluorometer. Our results showed that hypoxia caused significant elevation of [Ca~2+ ]_i, in both PAECs and PASMCs, 3, 4-DHAP could attenuate the hypoxic elevation of [Ca~2+ ]_i only in PASMCs but not in PAECs. It is concluded that 3, 4-DHAP decreases the hypoxic elevation of [Ca~2+ ]_i in PASMCs. This might contribute to its inhibitory effect on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.展开更多
