Interaction Information:

Comment The concentration of nitrite and nitrate accumulating in the culture media increased three- to fourfold following exposure to either peroxynitrite or LPS compared with control cultures. Nitrite and nitrate synthesis was substantially blocked by the NOS inhibitor L-NAME, suggesting that iNOS is actively producing NO.
