Figure 1

Relationship of pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA and Sat PC in BALF. Scatter plots for cytokines based on Sat PC levels in BALF of individual lambs show decreased injury in lambs with Sat PC level > 5 μmol/kg. Cytokine mRNA levels were determined by RNase protection assays with L32 as an internal loading control. Values are expressed as fold increase of mRNA over unventilated controls, whose level was set to equal 1. ◆ No inhibitor ■ IL-1 inhibitor, ▲ NF-κB inhibitor ● IL-8 inhibitor.
