From: Resolution of LPS-induced airway inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia is independent of IL-18
Total cell and goblet cell numbers reach maximum levels 4 d post instillation of 1000 μg LPS. Numbers of non-mucin storing epithelial cells/mmBL remain unchanged throughout the 90 d and are shown as white bars. Goblet cells per mmBL are shown as filled bars. Values given are ± SEM, (n = 5 rats per experimental group), * = statistically different from saline-instilled controls (P < 0.05).
