A New Experimental Polytrauma Model in Rats: Molecular Characterization of the Early Inflammatory Response

Figure 2

Local inflammatory response following trauma, (a) shows IL-6 (ng/mL) BAL-Fluid levels in Sham-, ChT-, -, -, CHI- and PT-rats 4 hrs after trauma, (b) TNF-α (ng/mL) BAL-Fluid levels in Sham-, ChT-, -, -, CHI- and PT-rats 4 hrs post trauma, (c) CINC (pg/mL) BAL-Fluid concentrations in Sham-, ChT-, -, -, CHI- and PT-rats 4 hrs after trauma and (d) MCP-1 BAL-Fluid levels in Sham-, ChT-, -, -, CHI- and PT-rats 4 hrs after trauma. All data are presented as mean ± SD. to Sham; significant to CHT. –10 rats/group.
