Figure 7From: Estrogen aggravates inflammation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia in cystic fibrosis mice E2 treatment is correlated with an increase in a murine IL-8 homolog that recruits neutrophils, and in the growth factor G-CSF that stimulates production of neutrophils. Protein levels of (A) MIP-2, but not (B) KC or (C) LIX, were increased, * p < 0.05, n = 4; (D) G-CSF protein levels were increased, * p < 0.05, n = 4.Back to article page
