Cytokine concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. (a) TNF-α, (b) IL-1β, and (c) IL-6 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected 14 hours after injection of LPS or saline in the four groups (n = 8 per group). (a) Saline-only group, (b) RIPC/saline group, (c) RIPC/LPS group, (d) LPS-only group. All data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean from the four experimental groups. *P < 0.001 versus the saline-only and RIPC/saline groups; #P < 0.05 versus the LPS-only group. TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1β, interleukin-1β; IL-6, interleukin-6; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; RIPC, remote ischemic preconditioning
