Greatly increased luminal nitric oxide in ulcerative colitis
Abstract
A role for nitric oxide (NO) in ulcerative colitis has been suggested because mucosal NO synthase activity, measured by indirect assays, is increased in this disorder. We directly measured luminal NO in the colons of twelve controls and six patients with active ulcerative colitis. During colonoscopy, gas was aspirated from different parts of the colon and immediately analysed by a chemiluminescence technique. NO concentrations were more than 100 times higher in the patients than in the controls. Luminal NO is rapidly and easily measurable and may be used to monitor inflammatory bowel disease.

In the citing paper
“However, chronic inflammation, including inflammatory bowel disease and Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis induce inducible NOS (iNOS) and generate large quantities of NO [22,146,147], forming nitrosating and oxidant species such as N2O3 and peroxynitrite, which might cause mutagenesis through deamination, nitration of DNA, or inhibition of the DNA repair system [148,149].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
