Oxidative Stress Markers | SAL | LPS | SAL- antiIL17 | LPS-antiIL17 |
---|---|---|---|---|
iNOS (cells/104μm2) | 4.52 ± 0.47 | 19.60 ± 2.75* | 6.23 ± 1.24 | 9.82 ± 1.13*/** |
8-iso-PGF2α (%) | 0.36 ± 0.07 | 2.10 ± 0.21* | 0.48 ± 0.06 | 0.19 ± 0.02** |
ARG-1 (AU) | 0.87 ± 0.39 | 6.54 ± 1.40* | 1.24 ± 0.47 | 0.94 ± 0.18** |
iNOS is expressed as number of positive cells/104μm2. 8-iso-PGF2α is expressed as percentage and gene expression arginase-1 (ARG-1) expressed in arbitrary units (AU).
P < 0.05, compared to the SAL and SAL-antiIL17 groups;
P < 0.05, compared to the LPS group.
