(a) Effect of EF24 administration on the levels of inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-6, in lung tissues of rats subjected to sham treatment (Sham Ctrl), hemorrhage (H), and hemorrhage with EF24 administration (H+EF24). (# p < 0.05 vs. Ctrl and * p < 0.05 vs. Hem). (b) Hematoxylin & eosin staining of lung tissues from a representative set of rats, showing EF24-assisted recovery from hemorrhage-induced damages (600X magnification).
