Inflammatory responses of intact C57BL/6 mice to airway administration of saline or LPS. A, Body temperatures were reduced in male mice treated with LPS compared with females treated with LPS and to saline-treated males and females. B and C, BAL fluid cells (B) and TNF-α content (C) were increased in male mice treated with LPS compared with all other treatment groups. *, p < 0.05 vs LPS-treated females. ^, p < 0.05 vs saline-treated animals of the same gender, n = 7–13 per group.
