Figure 5From: Expression of neutral endopeptidase activity during clinical and experimental acute lung injury NEP activity in mice measured in plasma (A & B), lung tissue (C & D), and BALF (E & F), after the induction of lung injury in mice. Peptidase activity of plasma (A), lung tissue (C), and BALF (E) in absence (open column) versus presence (solid column) of thiorphan. NEP activity of plasma (B), lung tissue (D), and BALF (F) calculated by subtraction of thiorphan-insensitive from total peptidase activity. n = 3 to 5 in each group, *p < 0.05 vs. Control.Back to article page
