Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is known to induce post-bypass systemic inflammatory response. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a potent oxidant formed by a rapid reaction between nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion. We hypothesized that ONOO- plays a role in the development of post-bypass systemic inflammatory response and examined the efficacy of ONOO- scavenger in a rat-CPB model.
