Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of NO inhalation on endotoxin-induced acute lung injury(ALI).Methods Eighty SD rats were randomly assigned to the C+RA group,C+iNO group,L+RA group,and L+iNO group.The lung was removed for pathohistological changes and total protein levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF).The levels of MPO and MDA were measured.Results Endotoxin administration resulted in pulmonary edema and increased protein levels in BALF.There were increased MPO and MDA levels in the lung tissue.NO inhalation attenuated the pulmonary edema and decreased the protein level...
