Objectives The role of nitric oxide in mediating the early phase of hypotension and
cardlovascular hyporeactivity in sepsis, and the cellular sources of inducible nitric oxide
synthase expression under in vivo conditions, remain unclear. The objective of this study
was to elucidate the time course and cellular location of inducible nitric oxide synthase
messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in rats treated with lipopolysaccharide in vivo. Design
