From: Antimicrobial peptide 2K4L inhibits the inflammatory response in macrophages and Caenorhabditis elegans and protects against LPS-induced septic shock in mice

Figure 6

2K4L had a protective effect on septic mice infected with LPS. (A) Survival rate of the septic mice induced by LPS. (B) Body weight of the septic mice induced by LPS. (C,D) Liver function of the septic mice induced by LPS. (E) Pathological observation of the liver, lung and kidney of the septic mice induced by LPS (original magnification × 200, n = 3). #(P < 0.05) and ##(P < 0.01) indicate statistically significant differences between the LPS group and the control (0.9% NaCl). *(P < 0.05) and **(P < 0.01) indicate statistically significant differences between the peptide and LPS groups.
