Abstract
Our results suggest that xanthine oxidase (XO) contributes to lung neutrophil sequestration in hypovolemic shock. Catheterized rats subjected to shock by phlebotomy (~30% blood loss) had decreased mean arterial blood pressures (P < 0.05) and increased (P < 0.05) lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities (indicative of lung neutrophil accumulation) compared with sham- treated normotensive rats. In contrast, rats depleted of lung and plasma XO activity by tungsten diet before phlebotomy had decreased (P < 0.05) lung MPO activities compared with phlebotomized rats fed regular diets.
