The effect of AVA on NO (a), TNF-α (b), IL-1β (c), IL-6 (d), and IL-10 (f) expression in mice with ALI. Mice were given AVA (125, 250, and 500 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection 1 h before challenge with LPS. The BALF was collected 6 h following LPS challenge to analyze the inflammatory cytokines NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10. Each value represents the mean ± SD. compared with the control group. , , and compared with the LPS group (one-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe’s multiple range test).
