Abstract excerpt
As a consequence of diminished nitric oxide synthase (NOS) protein concentration, the airway concentration of nitric oxide (NO) is reduced in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This appears to lead to a reduced elimination of such microorganisms as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The objective of this study was to analyze whether inducible (iNOS), endothelial (eNOS) and neuronal (bNOS) NOS are reduced at mRNA level and...
