The phagocytic activity and plasma total nitrate levels were increased by administration of ACRS. These effects were blocked by injection of a specific iNOS inhibitor aminogua- nidine (AG) (100 mg/kg, i.p.). Taken together, these findings indicate that the increase of phagocytic activity at ACRS exposed rats is related to the iNOS originated nitric oxide (NO).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle1931331382-s2.0-2694444657710.1080/13102818.2005.10817241N/A
