The relationship between the calgranulin and neutrophilic responses induced by LPS. The LPS-induced inflammatory response in the 2d population. A: the significant increase of sputum calgranulin A/B complex, 24 hours after endotoxin inhalation. B: the significant rise of the neutrophils (PMN) in the sputum, 24 hours after endotoxin inhalation. C: the linear correlation between the rises in sputum calgranulin and sputum PMN, at 24 hours after LPS inhalation, compared to basal value. D: the significant increase of blood calgranulin A/B complex, 6 hours after endotoxin inhalation. E: the significant increase of blood neutrophils, 6 hours after endotoxin inhalation. F: the linear correlation between the rises in blood calgranulin and blood PMN, 6 hours after LPS inhalation, compared to basal value. Statistics: paired t-tests. *** p < 0.01, **** p < 0.001.
