Different mechanisms in inhibition of rat macrophage nitric oxide synthase expression by FK 506 and cyclosporin A.

abstract：:The etiology of inflammatory bowel diseases which include ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease has not yet been clarified. Several hypotheses suggest a change in composition of gut microflora along with an impaired mucosal barrier that lead to excessive mucosal immunologic responses. Increased production of nitri...
