Metformin (Met) induces the expression of SOD1. Metformin was administered at 0.5 h prior to LPS injection in mice. Expression of SOD1 in lung tissue was determined using immunoblotting. GAPDH was used as loading control. Representative western blots and quantification of bands are shown (n=3 per group). *P<0.05 vs. the control (Con) group; #P<0.05 vs. the LPS-induced ALI model (LPS group). SOD1, superoxide dismutase 1; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; ALI, acute lung injury.
