Özet
Background: Chronic liver disorders represent a serious health problem. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) can function as an antimicrobial agent able to kill or reduce replication of microorganisms, and plays an important role in immune regulation. This study was undertaken to evaluate the expression of iNOS in chronic viral hepatitis and its relation to histopathology.
