Fig. 1 — Submandibular gland inflammation 3 or 24 h following an intraductal infusion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). (a) Mean submandibular (SM) gland weight was increased by 17% at 3 h (n = 10) following LPS. At 24 h (n = 38) following LPS the increase in SM gland weight was 19%. (b) Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity per gram wet weight of submandibular glands at 24 h after LPS treatment (n = 6) was increased compared to contralateral control glands but at 3 h following LPS treatment (n = 7) the increase did not reach statistical significance. Results are expressed as means ± (s.e.m.). Differences between values in paired glands were compared using a Student's paired t-test and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. *P = 0.006, ***P < 0.0001 and **P = 0.002 compared to contralateral control glands.
