Acetate alleviates the damage of lungs induced by LPS. (A) Lung tissues were weighed and calculated the W/D weight ratio. (B) Protein concentration in BALF was measured. (C) Spectrophotometric analysis of Evans blue dye in lung tissues was quantified. (D) LDH activity in BALF was determined to assess lung damage. The values presented are mean ±SEM (n=10), ^## P<0.01 versus the control group; * P<0.05 versus the LPS-treated group. LPS – lipopolysaccharide; W/D – wet/dry; BALF – bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; LDH – lactate dehydrogenase; SEM – standard error measurement.
