Reduction of nitric oxide release from alveolar macrophages by a lipocortin peptide
Nitric oxide (NO), produced by alveolar macrophages (AM) is used as a marker of respiratory tract inflammation. Lipocortin 1 (Lc-1) is an anti-inflammatory, glucocorticoid-inducible protein. The current aims were to determine whether (a) an Lc-1-derived peptide, Ac2-26, inhibited lipopolysaccharide...
