Multitracer Stable Isotope Quantification of Arginase and Nitric Oxide Synthase Activity in a Mouse Model of Pseudomonas Lung Infection

Figure 4

(a) Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and (b) arginase activity in mouse lung calculated from stable isotope conversion in an isolated lung perfusion model. NOS and arginase activity were significantly increased three days after direct tracheal instillation of Pseudomonas-laden agarose beads (infection) compared to control (, resp.).
