Noninvasive Measurement of Exhaled Nitric Oxide in a Spontaneously Breathing Mouse
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has been detected in the exhaled gas of animals and humans. In previous work, investigators have used anesthetized, mechanically ventilated animals to obtain exhaled NO (E(NO)) measurements, which has unclear effects on the levels of E(NO) and does not allow for repeated analysis of E(NO). We sought to measure E(NO) from a single, spontaneously breathing mouse. The mouse was placed in a small Plexiglas chamber and allowed to …
