“Moreover, NAC combined with sildenafil inhibited the expression of MCP‐1 and p‐p38 MAPK.”
“ N‐acetylcysteine combined with sildenafil decreased MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 activity and NO consumption and inhibited apoptosis of pulmonary arterial endothelial cells.”
“ N‐acetylcysteine potentiated the haemodynamic‐improving effect of sildenafil and significantly inhibited the oxidative stress response.”
“Thus, NAC potentiates the haemodynamic‐improving effect of sildenafil in a rabbit model of acute pulmonary thromboembolism via the MCP‐1 and p38 MAPK signalling pathway.”
