Abstract Background We investigated efficacy of inhaled nitric oxide NO in modulation of metabolism of phosphatidylcholine PC of pulmonary surfactant and in anti-inflammatory mechanism of mature lungs with inflammatory injury. Methods Healthy adult rats were divided into a group of lung inflammation induced by . lipopolysaccharides LPS or a normal control C for 24 h and then exposed to room air Air 95 oxygen O NO 20 parts per million NO both O and NO ONO as subgroups whereas 3H -choline was injected . for incorporation into PC of the lungs which were processed subsequently at 10 min 4 8 12 and 24 h respectively for measurement of PC synthesis and proinflammatory cytokine production. Results LPS-NO subgroup had the lowest level of labeled PC in total phospholipids and disaturated PC in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissue decreased by 46-59 along with the lowest activity of cytidine triphosphate phosphocholine .
