Table 1. Mice Treatment Groups and Studies
Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 50 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide with or without a ROS scavenger, 16 h before lung perfusion. Groups of mice treated with saline, with or without a ROS scavenger served as controls. In some experiments, mice were subjected to 16 h of NO breathing.
ROS = reactive oxygen species; NO = nitric oxide; LPS = lipopolysaccharide; NAC = N-acetylcysteine; DMTU = 1,3-dimethyl-2-thiourea; PEG = polyethylene glycol; SOD = superoxide dismutase.
