| Abstract |
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a major morbidity in premature infants, and impaired angiogenesis is considered a major contributor to BPD. Early caffeine treatment decreases the incidence of BPD; the mechanism remains incompletely understood. Sprague-Dawley rat pups exposed to normoxia or hyperoxia since birth were treated daily with either 20 mg/kg caffeine or normal saline by intraperitoneal injection from day 2 of life. Lungs were obtained for studies at day 10 and 21. Hyperoxia impaired somatic growth and lung growth in the rat pups. The impaired lung growth during hyperoxia was associated with decreased levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) in the lungs. Early caffeine treatment increased cAMP levels in the lungs of hyperoxia-exposed pups. Caffeine also increased the levels of phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) at serine(1177), total and serine(51) phosphorylated GTP-cyclohydrolase-1 (GCH1), and BH4 levels, with improved alveolar structure and angiogenesis in hyperoxia-exposed lungs. Reduced GCH1 levels in hyperoxia were due, in part, to increased degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Our data support the notion that early caffeine treatment can protect immature lungs from hyperoxia-induced damage by improving eNOS activity through increased BH4 bioavailability.Pediatric Research accepted article preview online, 11 April 2017. doi:10.1038/pr.2017.89. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 August 2017.
All research outputs
#20,444,703
of 22,999,744 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Research
#4,569
of 5,111 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#272,947
of 313,650 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Research
#62
of 96 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,999,744 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,111 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 313,650 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 96 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
