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

Figure 2 Tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 levels in lung tissues. Severe intraperitoneal infection (SII) lymph infusion enhances sepsis-induced inflammatory cytokine responses in the lung. Concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (A) and interleukin (IL)-6 (B) were measured from lung extracts of SII and control lymph-infused rats. Data are mean ± SD of 10 rats in each group. Results are representative of two separate experiments. ^dP < 0.01 vs SII infusion group.
