Abstract
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent nitric oxide synthase was found to be induced during rat liver necrosis caused by administration of Propionibacterium acnes and E. coli lipopolysaccharide to rats. Examination of the specific induction of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent NO synthase showed that the enzyme was induced in the lung, spleen and colon as well as the liver. Northern blot analysis revealed that the induction occurred at the transcriptional levelKeywords
