1 As representative of NSAIDs, indomethacin also increased the extent of enterobacterial invasion and MPO as well as iNOS activity before the occurrence of intestinal damage, and the hypermotility response was observed earlier than the onset of any other event caused by this agent. Indomethacin nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 The intestinal lesions induced by indomethacin were prevented by either supplementation with dmPGE(2), inhibition of bacterial invasion with ampicillin or inhibition of iNOS activity with aminoguanidine, while the hypermotility response was prevented by dmPGE(2) only. Indomethacin nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
