TL;DR:
It is shown that mucosal expression of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) is increased in infected piglets and that inhibition of iNOS in vitro has no short-term effect on barrier function, suggesting that induction of i NOS represents a nonspecific response of the epithelium that mediates enterocyte defense against C. parvum infection.
