Inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis augments pulmonary oedema in isolated perfused rabbit lung.

The role of nitric oxide (NO) in precipitating pulmonary oedema in acute lung injury remains unclear. We have investigated the mechanism of involvement of NO in the maintenance of liquid balance in the isolated rabbit lung. Thirty pairs of lungs were perfused with colloid for up to 6 h, during which...
