1 In this study, we examined the effects of dantrolene on L-arginine transport and activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) in rat alveolar macrophages. Dantrolene nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 In addition, dantrolene also attenuated the activity of iNOS in a dose-dependent manner. Dantrolene nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 We conclude that the mechanisms by which dantrolene attenuated NO synthesis may be associated with the inhibition of availability of L-arginine by reducing the affinity for L-arginine, accompanied by a parallel decrease of the activity of iNOS. Dantrolene nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
