Figure 1. Effect of arsenic and LPS on plasma parameters.
Male C57BL/6J mice were exposed to arsenic or tap water and injected with LPS (or saline vehicle) as described in Methods. 24 h after LPS injection the mice were harvested and the plasma ALT, AST and ALP levels were analyzed. Data represent means ± SEM (n = 4-6). a, p < 0.05 compared to the saline injection; b, p < 0.05 compared to animals exposed to tap water.
