| Abstract | Free radical formation has been investigated in diverse experimental models of LPS-induced inflammation. Here, using electron spin resonance (ESR) and the spin trap alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone, we have detected an ESR spectrum of alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone radical adducts in the lipid extract of mouse skin treated with LPS for 6 h. The ESR spectrum was consistent with the trapping of lipid-derived radical adducts. In addition, a secondary radical-trapping technique using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) demonstrated methyl radical formation, revealing the production of hydroxyl radical. Radical adduct formation was suppressed by aminoguanidine, N-(3-aminomethyl)benzylacetamidine (1400W), or allopurinol, suggesting a role for both inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and xanthine oxidase (XO) in free radical formation. The radical formation was also suppressed in iNOS knockout (iNOS(-/-)) mice, demonstrating the involvement of iNOS. NADPH oxidase was not required in the formation of these radical adducts because the ESR signal intensity was increased by LPS treatment in NADPH oxidase knockout (gp91(phox-/-)) mice as much as it was in the wild-type mouse. Nitric oxide (*NO) end products were increased in LPS-treated skin. As expected, the *NO end products were not suppressed by allopurinol but were by aminoguanidine. Interestingly, nitrotyrosine formation in LPS-treated skin was also suppressed by aminoguanidine and allopurinol independently. Pretreatment with the ferric iron chelator Desferal had no effect on free radical formation. Our results imply that both iNOS and XO, but neither NADPH oxidase nor ferric iron, work synergistically to form lipid radical and nitrotyrosine early in the skin inflammation caused by LPS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
