title: Nitric oxide synthase in bronchial epithelium and nitric oxide metabolites in the lungs of rats with bronchial asthma after fenoterol inhalation.
abstract: Nitric oxide synthase of the bronchial epithelium and concentrations of nitric oxide metabolites (NO(2)(-)and NO(3)(-)) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids were measured in rats with bronchial asthma after fenoterol inhalation. It was suggested that nitric oxide-ergic mechanisms can mediate the effects of inhaled beta(2)-adrenergic agonists.
