Differential expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase gene by alveolar and peritoneal macrophages in lipopolysaccharide-hyporesponsive C3H/HeJ mice.

abstract：:Porcine alveolar macrophages (AM) metabolize leukotriene D4 (LTD4) to leukotriene E4 (LTE4). In the present study, the ability of a fluid-phase AM stimulus (A23187) and a phagocytic stimulus (opsonized zymosan) to augment LTD4 metabolism was examined. Both stimuli increased the release of superoxide (O-2) anions. Howe...
