TABLE 1.
HYPOXIA-INDUCED RELEASE OF MONOCYTE CHEMOATTRACTANT PROTEIN–1 FROM PRIMARY ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGE CULTURES
Nominal Percent O2 | 15% | 10% | 5% | 0% |
---|---|---|---|---|
N | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
Supernatant concentration of monocyte chemoattractant protein–1 (pg/106 cells) | 200 ± 32 | 4,051 ± 591* | 3,757 ± 909* | 4,119 ± 354* |
Values represent mean ± SE of five primary cultures of alveolar macrophages exposed to each gas mixture.
N = number of primary cultures exposed to each gas mixture.
P < 0.01 versus 15% O2 group.
