Research Abstract

Despite in the hypoxic air circumstance, yak, a high-altitude living animal, has never developed high-altitude pulmonary hypertension(HAPH). The reason behind it is that a Rho-kinase, an essential enzyme of maintaining of vascular tone is not activated in the pulmonary vessels. There is no remodeling of pulmonary arterial wall in yak. On the contrary, a bull or Kyrgyzstan people who are living at high-altitude and having HAPH have augmented activity of Rho-kinase.
