Figure 1From: Neutrophil cannibalism – a back up when the macrophage clearance system is insufficientLPS induces lung inflammation. The number of neutrophils and macrophages in BALF increased significantly in response to LPS (A), both peaking at 36 h after administration. The lavage content of lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) also increased in response to LPS (B), and reached maximum levels 60 h after LPS administration. The data are given as mean ± SEM and compared against control using independent samples t-test. * indicates p < 0.05, § indicates p < 0.01 and # indicates p < 0.001.Back to article page
