Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activation in the lungs is abrogated bypropylthiouracil administration. MPO activity was defined asthe quantity of enzyme degrading 1 μM hydrogenperoxide/minute at 37°C and was expressed in units per 100 mgof tissue. *P < 0.001 versus Sham; #P <0.001 versus HOCl. HOCl group (n = 10), HOCl + PTU group(n = 10), Sham (n = 5).
