Acid steatocrit determination is not helpful in cystic fibrosis patients without or with mild steatorrhea.

abstract：:This review summarizes current knowledge about the role of nitric oxide (NO) in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. NO is endogenously produced by a group of enzymes, the NO synthases (NOSs). There are three isoforms of NOS, each encoded by different genes: neuronal (nNOS), immune or inducible (iNOS), and endothelial (...
