We investigated the endogenous production of ghrelin as well as cardiac and pulmonary vascular effects of its administration in a rat model of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH).

One week later, animals were randomly assigned to receive a subcutaneous injection of ghrelin (100 mug/k...
