Fig. 4. Inhibitory ability of ARO on the upregulation of immune cells and molecules in ALI mice. (A) Immune cell counts in BALF (magnification, ×400). (B) IL-1β, (C) IL-6, and (D) TNF-α levels in BALF analyzed using ELISA (n=6 mice per group). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (#p<0.01 for comparison with the normal control; *p<0.05 for comparison with the LPS group). NC: normal control mice; LPS: lipopolysaccharide-treated mice; DEX: 1 mg/kg dexamethasone-administered LPS mice; ARO 15: 15 mg/kg aromadendrin-administered LPS mice and ARO 30: 30 mg/kg aromadendrin-administered LPS mice. ARO stands for aromadendrin.
