Sulphur mustard induces time- and concentration-dependent regulation of NO-synthesizing enzymes

Sulphur mustard (SM) is a chemical warfare agent that causes erythema and blistering of the skin with a latency of several hours. Although SM is known for almost 200 years the cellular mechanisms involved in the damaging process are not fully understood. There is evidence that changes in nitric oxide (*NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) might be involved in the damaging process. To find out more about the...
