In newborn rat endotoxicosis, carbon monoxide levels in the circulation as well as liver, kid-ney and lung were found to be significantly increased (P<0. 05). Moreover, the elevations of carbonmonoxide correlated with enhanced nitric oxide production as indicated by nitrite/nitrate levels (P<0. 05).Our present data showed for the first time that endogenously produced carbon monoxide was increasedduring the course of shock-like states, which suggested that the role of carbon monoxide in sepsis and sep-tic shock might worth further study.展开更多
