Figure 9From: Modulation of cytokine and nitric oxide by mesenchymal stem cell transfer in lung injury/fibrosis The effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMDMSC) transfer on the bleomycin (BLM)-induced increases in nitrate and nitrite in lung extracts. BLM (n = 6) increased the nitrate (A) and nitrite levels (B) in lung extracts from day 7 to day 21; however, the effect was significantly reduced by BMDMSC transfer (n = 6). * and ** indicate p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively.Back to article page
