Does carbon monoxide treatment alter cytokine levels after endotoxin infusion in pigs? A randomized controlled study-2

A dotted (CO group) and solid (controls) line represents means for the two groups (n = 10 except for the CO-group at 270 and 300 min where n = 9 and for controls at 150, 180 and 210 min where n = 9 and at 240, 270 and 300 min where n = 8). Endotoxin was administered (0.05 μg/kg/h) just after time 0, reaching maximum infusion rate (0.25 μg/kg/h) at 30 min. No significant differences were detected between the groups for any of the cytokines (TNF: ANOVA (1, 8) = 1.074, IL-6: ANOVA (1, 8) = 0.892, IL-10: ANOVA (1, 8) = 1.347, IL-1beta: ANOVA (1, 8) = 1.716).<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Does carbon monoxide treatment alter cytokine levels after endotoxin infusion in pigs?
