Figure 7. LPS exposure leads to enhanced paracellular glucose flux across ex vivo murine trachea.

Figure 7

A: Time course of basolateral to apical L-glucose flux across excised trachea from saline (control) or LPS treated mice (24 hour exposure). Transport was traced by applying [14C]-L-Glucose to the mucosal reservoir and sampling the luminal reservoir for [14C]-radiolabel appearance at 20 minute intervals, over a duration of 100 minutes. (* P < 0.05 compared to control, n=3). B: Neutrophil count from BAL fluid of LPS and saline treated mice after 3 and 48 hours exposure. (* P < 0.0001 at all time points compared to saline control, n=6). C: TNF-α concentration of BAL fluid from LPS treated mice after 3 and 24 hours. TNF-α was undetectable in BAL samples from control mice, n=6).
