The pathogenesis of aspirin intolerance remains unclear. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression is upregulated in nasal polyp epithelium, implying a role for nitric oxide (NO) in its formation. We decided to compare iNOS activity in polyp tissue from patients with and without aspirin intolerance. Nasal polyp tissue was collected from 15 patients undergoing routine nasal polypectomy. These patients were classified into three groups: Group A comprised patients with nasal polyps without… CONTINUE READING
