Figure 1From: Expression of neutral endopeptidase activity during clinical and experimental acute lung injury NEP activity in human plasma. Plasma NEP activity in Controls versus patients who developed ALI/ARDS. A. Peptidase activity in absence (open column) or presence (filled column) of thiorphan. B. NEP activity calculated by subtraction of the thiorphan-insensitive activity from the total activity. n = 4 in each group, *p < 0.05 vs. Control.Back to article page
