Effect of administration of Melilotus extract on MPO activity in lung tissue and inflammatory cells counts in BAL in septic mice. At 24 h following administration of Melilotus extract and exposure to cecal ligation-perforation, the MPO activity in lung tissue and inflammatory cell counts in BAL were measured. Values are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. ^**P<0.01 vs. sham-operated and normal control groups; ^#P<0.05 or ^##P<0.01 vs. control group. MPO, myeloperoxidase; BAL, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
