BTM prevented LPS-mediated induction of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression. A: CTGF mRNA levels increased 7 days after the exposure to LPS in the fetal lung, which was prevented by BTM pretreatment. B: 7 days after the exposure to LPS CTGF protein levels increased. Pretreatment with BTM before the exposure to LPS prevented the increase in CTGF protein levels. *P < 0.05 vs. controls and §P < 0.05 between experimental groups using a one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test.
