Serum biochemical analyses.

Group	Peroxynitrite (Fluorescence/mL)	Triglyceride (mg/dL)	Total Cholesterol (mg/dL)
NC	93.5 ± 1.5 **	166.4 ± 13.9 *	86.6 ± 2.7 *
LPS	139.1 ± 13.0	236.0 ± 27.6	94.8 ± 1.8
CS	96.6 ± 2.8 *	151.8 ± 9.6 *	74.2 ± 3.8 **
CSE	97.7 ± 3.7 *	125.1 ± 13.4 **	70.5 ± 5.3 **

NC, normal control mice; LPS, vehicle-treated LPS mice; CS, 200 mg/kg body weight chondroitin sulfate in LPS mice; CSE, 400 mg/kg body weight chondroitin sulfate preparation from skate cartilage in LPS mice. Data are the means ± S.E.M. (n = 8 mice per group). Significance: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. vehicle-treated LPS mice.
