Endothelin
A chemical produced naturally by the body. In healthy amounts, it plays an important role in regulating blood flow. In conditions such as Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), excess endothelin is produced, tightening and narrowing blood vessels and affecting the blood pressure in the lungs.
