Inflammatory cytokines in lung tissues

	IL-6	IL-8	IL-10
CD-saline/RA	1.00 ± 0.05	1.00 ± 0.07	1.00 ± 0.10
DHA-saline/RA	0.91 ± 0.07	0.92 ± 0.08	0.97 ± 0.02
CD-LPS/O2	1.77 ± 0.51	0.96 ± 0.09	0.74 ± 0.07
DHA-LPS/O2	0.86 ± 0.07#	1.04 ± 0.09	1.05 ± 0.08#

Cytokines were measured by ELISA as described in methods. Data were normalized to the control diet-saline/room air (CD-saline/RA)-exposed group and analyzed by 2-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test post hoc. Values are means ± SE; n = 8–12 per group. An effect of diet is indicated with IL-6 levels elevated and IL-10 levels decreased in the CD-LPS/85% O₂ (CD-LPS/O₂)-exposed group.

^#P < 0.05, different from CD-LPS/O₂. DHA, docosahexaenoic acid diet.
