| Popis: | To assess whether cancer-induced pleurisy is associated with an alteration of nitric oxide (NO)-synthase activity, the levels of nitrate/nitrite (NOx) were measured in blood serum (BS) and pleural effusion (PE) of 35 cancer patients (secondary pleural metastases and mesotheliomas), eight patients with benign lung diseases, and in BS of nine healthy donors. It was found that (1) BS of patients with secondary pleural metastases had an elevated level (P |
