Study of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) as molecular mediators of the sepsis-induced diaphragmatic contractile dysfunction : protective effect of heme oxygenases 

Barreiro Portela, Esther (Date of defense: 2002-06-18)

Protein nitration is considered as a marker of reactive nitrogen species formation. Heme oxygenases (HOs) are important for the defence against oxidative stress. We evaluated the involvement of the neuronal (nNOS), the ...
