Rapid increase in inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression in the heart during endotoxemia

Inducible, Ca 2+-independent nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity in the heart is elevated during endotoxemia and the resulting excess release of NO depresses cardiac contractile function. We show here that this is due to an extremely rapid induction of inducible NO synthase gene expression. Followin...
