Figure 1.
Relative gene expression levels in the liver (A) and lung (B) tissue from WT and NOS3KO mice at baseline and 10 h after CASP operation. Gene expression was normalized to 18S rRNA expression level and the mean values for baseline WT mice were set to 1. TNFα, tumor necrosis factor α; IL-1β, interleukin 1β; IL-6, interleukin 6; ICAM-1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1; NOS2, nitric oxide synthase 2. N = 3 – 6 for each group. *P<0.05 vs baseline mice of the same genotype, **P<0.01 vs baseline mice of the same genotype, #P<0.05 vs WT mice after CASP.
