Huangkui Capsule Attenuates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury and Macrophage Activation by Suppressing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Mice

Figure 3

Effect of HKC on the levels of IL-6 in plasma and TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF. Mice were intragastrically administered HKC once daily for 5 days. DEX (5 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected once 30 min before LPS instillation. The plasma and BALF were collected 24 h after LPS application. The levels of TNF-α (a) and IL-6 (b) in BALF and IL-6 (c) in plasma were determined using ELISA. Data represent means ± SD (n = 6).  < 0.05.  < 0.01.
