From: The Protective Role of Endogenous Estrogens in Carrageenan-Induced Lung Injury in the Rat
Effect of endogenous estrogen on NO production. Nitrite and nitrate concentrations in pleural exudate (A) and iNOS activity in lungs (B) at 4 hr after carrageenan administration. iNOS activity in the carrageenan-treated rats was significantly increased versus sham group. Estrogen depletion significantly affect the NO production. Value are presented as mean ± SEM of 10 rats for each group. *p < 0.01 versus sham. °p < 0.01 versus carrageenan-treated N-OVX rats. ∞p < 0.01 versus carrageenan-treated OVX rats.
