Intravenous infusion of mesenteric lymph from severe intraperitoneal infection rats causes lung injury in healthy rats

Figure 1 Change in lung wet-to-dry weight ratio and myeloperoxidase level. Severe intraperitoneal infection (SII) lymph infusion increased inflammatory injury. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (A) and wet-to-dry weight (W/D) ratio (B) were measured in lung collected from SII and control lymph-infused rats 4 h after infusion. The results (mean ± SD) are the summary of two separate experiments (n = 10 rats in each group). ^bP < 0.01 vs SII infusion group.
