Table 1 Summary of results for iNOS expression and NO production for fetal membrane disks cultured in the absence or presence of serum

From: Lipopolysaccharide induces nitric oxide synthase expression and platelet-activating factor increases nitric oxide production in human fetal membranes in culture
