Fig 2 Total nitrite plus nitrate (A), nitrite (B), nitrate (C), and nitrotyrosine (D) concentrations (in micromoles per liter) in the proximal (black bars) and distal (gray bars) airway ELF. Data represent means ± SEMs with adult control subjects (AC), pediatric control subjects (PC), subjects with mild-to-moderate asthma (MA), and subjects with severe asthma (SA). aP < .05 versus adult control subjects. bP < .05 versus pediatric control subjects.

Fig 3 Scatterplot depicting the relationship between total nitrite plus nitrate and nitrotyrosine concentrations (in micromoles per liter) in the proximal (black circles) and distal (gray circles) airway ELF. Data were logarithmically transformed.

Total nitrite plus nitrate (A), nitrite (B), nitrate (C), and nitrotyrosine (D) concentrations (in micromoles per liter) in the proximal (black bars) and distal (gray bars) in the raw BAL supernatant. Data were not adjusted for the urea dilution. Data represent means ± SEMs with adult control subjects (AC), pediatric control subjects (PC), subjects with mild-to-moderate asthma (MA), and subjects with severe asthma (SA). aP < .05 versus adult control subjects. bP < .05 versus pediatric control subjects.
