Abstract
Endotoxin-associated NOS2-derived NO is thus associated with impaired NO-mediated relaxation, but does not underlie reduced receptor-mediated pulmonary contractile responses. An increased phosphodiesterase activity may underlie the former, so this route can be explored to replace or improve the effect of inhalational NO therapy in severe sepsis-induced acute lung injury in patients.
