1 LPS and DB-cAMP each increased iNOS mRNA and protein in AM and RNI in the BAL fluid and ex vivo incubates of AM. Bucladesine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 However, the peak of the increase of iNOS mRNA occurred at 2 hr for DB-cAMP and 4 to 6 hr for LPS. Bucladesine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 In contrast, pretreatment of rats with ETOH did not affect DB-cAMP-mediated increases of iNOS mRNA in AM at any time but suppressed the amount of iNOS protein and RNI produced in DB-cAMP-stimulated AM. Bucladesine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
4 Also, since ETOH inhibited DB-cAMP-mediated increases in iNOS protein without affecting iNOS mRNA ETOH also acts at a post-transcriptional or translational site to inhibit iNOS protein in rat AM in vivo. Bucladesine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
