PD ameliorated Tunel-positive cells, caspase-3 activity and oxidative stress. Tunel-positive cells and caspase-3 activity in lung, LPO level in serum were increased in the LPS + NS group, but decreased in the medium and large dose of PD treatment group. A. Graphical representation of TUNEL-positive cells averaged over 10 microscopic fields per animal. B. Caspase-3 activity in lung tissues. C. LPO level in serum. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6 in each group). *P < 0.05 vs. sham group; #P < 0.05 vs. LPS + NS group.
