Acetate affects inflammatory cells and MPO activity in LPS-induced ALI: (A) total cells, (B) neutrophils, and (C) alveolar macrophages were detected by flow cytometry in BALF. (D) MPO activity was measured in lung homogenates. The values presented are mean ±SEM (n=10), ##
P<0.01, ###
P<0.001 versus the control group; * P<0.05, ** P<0.01 versus LPS-treated group. MPO – myeloperoxidase; LPS – lipopolysaccharide; ALI – acute lung injury; BALF – bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; SEM – standard error measurement.
