Pulmonary inflammatory after burn and infection.
Assay | Gonad Intact | OVX | P-value |
---|---|---|---|
KC (pg/mg protein) | 128.0 ± 19.8 | 48.3 ± 5.7 | <0.001 |
MIP-2 (pg/mg protein) | 42.7 ± 10.3 | 33.5 ± 1.1 | 0.181 |
MPO (units/mg protein) | 1.12 ± 0.34 | 0.56 ± 0.08 | 0.034 |
Pulmonary chemokine and myeloperoxidase levels 24 hours after burn and infection for gonad intact and ovariectomized (OVX) mice. Data are presented as mean chemokine (pg/mg protein) or myeloperoxidase (units/mg protein) level ± SEM. N=7-19 per group. Comparisons between groups were made using a Student’s T-Test.
