Influence of NAC on the pro-oxidant response (a peroxidase activity, b H2O2 concentrations, c malondialdehyde [MDA] concentrations and d nitric oxide concentrations) induced by overnight incubation of human isolated bronchi with LPS (100 ng/ml). Horizontal dotted lines indicate the pro-oxidant response in control bronchi (c), in bronchi treated with LPS alone or in the presence of GSH. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of experiments repeated in triplicate. * P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 vs. LPS-incubated bronchi (statistical significance assessed by two-way ANOVA)
