## Abstract Heme oxygenase (HO)β1 is a key player reducing cytotoxicity and enhancing protumoral effects of nitric oxide (NO). We examined zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) IX, an HOβ1 inhibitor, to affect tumor growth of LL/2 mouse lung cancer cells. ZnPPIX reduced HOβ1 expression and HO activity in LL/2
Altered expression and activity of immunomodulatory cytokines plays a major role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease. Chronic ethanol feeding increases the sensitivity of Kupffer cells, the resident hepatic macrophage, to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), leading to increased tumor necrosis facto
