From: The Protective Role of Endogenous Estrogens in Carrageenan-Induced Lung Injury in the Rat
Effect of endogenous estrogen on cytokines production. TNF-α (A) and IL-1β (B) levels in pleural exudate at 4 hr after carrageenan administration. Cytokine production in the carrageenan-treated N-OVX rats was significantly increased versus sham-treated group. Estrogen depletion significantly affect the cytokines production. Value are presented as mean ± SEM of 10 rats for each group. *p < 0.01 versus sham. °p < 0.01 versus carrageenan-treated N-OVX rats. ∞p < 0.01 versus carrageenan-treated OVX rats.
