Abstract
⺠Sepsis and endotoxemia induces organ damage and cardiovascular dysfunction. ⺠Early pharmacological inhibition of NOS-1 greatly improves these conditions. ⺠NOS-1 gene knockout reduced mortality by endotoxemia. ⺠A short initial pulse of NO is critical for the onset of these changes. ⺠NOS-1-derived NO is a key signaling factor in the initiation of systemic inflammation.
