cGMP levels in lung tissue from eNOS^+/+ mice, eNOS^−/− mice treated with vehicle, and eNOS^−/− mice transfected with AdCMVβgal or AdCMVeNOS

Mice and treatment	Lung cGMP, pmol/mg protein
eNOS+/+	0.136  ± 0.04
eNOS−/− + vehicle	0.059  ± 0.024*
eNOS−/− + AdCMVβgal	0.062  ± 0.030*
eNOS−/− + AdCMVeNOS	0.105  ± 0.093**

n = 6 for each group. 

^*, P < 0.05 vs. eNOS^+/+; 

^**, P < 0.05 vs. eNOS^−/− + AdCMVβgal.
