Baicalin reduces the levels of inflammatory factors and adhesion molecules in serum and BALF of ALI mice. Mice were orally administered different concentrations (200, 100 and 50 mg/kg/day) of baicalin or PDTC (100 mg/kg/day) or vehicle for 7 days. Serum and BALF were collected 1 h after intravenous injection of CVF (35 µg/kg) and subjected to ELISA. A-C: serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and ICAM-1; D-G: BALF levels of TNF-α, IL-6, ICAM-1, and P-selectin. Results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 12). **P < 0.01was compared with the control group; ^#P < 0.05 and ^##P < 0.01 were compared with the model group
