The hypobaric chambers used in the present study have a higher rate of air exchange than other hypoxic gas chambers, thus limiting the build-up of waste products, including ammonia, that may contribute to lung inflammation and induction of iNOS, as the combination of hypoxia and inflammation has previously been reported to increase iNOS expression [ 23].
In agreement with previous studies, the plasma NO metabolite content in the present study was minimally elevated in the hypoxic group.
As a matter of fact, although the percentage of lung consolidation tended to be greater in patients without septic shock (63 vs 57%), their mean PaO 2 tended to be higher (95 ± 16 vs 88 ± 11 mmHg), suggesting some degree of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction impairment in the non-ventilated lung areas of patients with septic shock.
However, iNOS protein was below the limit of detection following any level of hypoxic exposure (positive control was lipopolysaccharide-treated mouse spleen) and using several different antibodies (Affinity Bioreagents and BD Transduction Laboratories; Affinity Bioreagents blot shown), and nNOS was unchanged among the three experimental groups (positive control was mouse brain).
This observation of increased susceptibility to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in younger, developing animals is in agreement with previous reports [ 20, 21].
