Title: NO synthase isoforms are involved in the LPS-induced alteration of hypoxic vasoconstriction
Abstract: Background: Acute lung injury (ALI), is clinically characterized by diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, severe hypoxemia, and disturbed control of vascular tone. Augmentation as well as attenuation of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) has been described in ALI. To better understand the potential role of iNOS and eNOS in this pathological process we used a rabbit model of LPS-induced alteration of hypoxic vasoconstriction combined with exposure to periodic hypoxia.
