Expression of mRNA for iNOS in gastric mucosa of intact rats or those pretreated with vehicle (Veh, saline) or CORM-2 (5 mg/kg i.g.) with or without the combination with L-NNA or zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPPIX) and exposed to 75% ethanol.

<p>Results are mean ± S.E.M of 4–6 determinations. Bar chart shows analysis of mRNA expression for iNOS normalized to β-actin. Asterisk indicates a significant change (p<0.05) as compared with the respective values in intact gastric mucosa. Cross indicates a significant change (p<0.05) comparing to values obtained in Veh-control group. Double asterisk indicate a significant change (p<0.05) comparing to values obtained in the rats pretreated with CORM-2 alone.
