LPA is still in the clinical stage of testing. So far the LPA receptors have had physiological effects on every organism that it has been tested with. There have been studies done looking at what happens with infertility, fibrosis, pain, and cancer when they come into contact with LPA receptors. | |||
===Cancer=== | |||
To look at the effects of LPA on cancer, there was a study done with mice. It was seen that when in the presence of LPA1 receptors the mice would not contract fibrosis. Mice who had fibrosis were given LPA1 regulated LPA-induced fibroblast. Over time the mice who had fibrosis began to have their lungs repaired. The amount of fluid in their lungs decreased. | |||
