From: Effect of low-dose hydrocortisone and inhaled nitric oxide on inflammatory mediators and local pulmonary metalloproteinases activity in LPS-induced sepsis in piglets

Figure 3

The level of IL-1β is significantly lower in the group treated with iNO and IV hydrocortisone (iNO + HCT) than in the control group. Main proinflammatory mediators in pulmonary homogenates in a porcine endotoxemia model. Values are presented as means ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined by the Mann–Whitney U test. *P < 0.05 vs. control group. HCT hydrocortisone, iNO inhaled nitric oxide, IL-1β interleukin-1β, TNF-α tumor necrosis factor α, IL-8 interleukin-8, IL-6 interleukin-6.
