TABLE 1.
MPO activity in the lungs of control and AM-depleted mice
Mouse group | MPO activitya (U/g [mean ± SD])
|
||
---|---|---|---|
Pre | 8 h | 48 h | |
Control | 8 ± 2 | 102 ± 35 | 24 ± 14 |
AM depleted | 10 ± 3 | 40 ± 26b | 94 ± 41b |
MPO activity in the lung was measured before (Pre; n = 3) or 8 or 48 h after (n = 6 for each group) P. aeruginosa instillation.
P < 0.05, compared to control value by Student’s t test.
