Effect of Previous High Glutamine Infusion on Inflammatory Mediators and Mortality in an Acute Pancreatitis Model

Figure 2

Lung and liver expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) at different time points after acute pancreatitis induction with sodium taurocholate in Lewis rats previously treated or not treated with 48 h infusion of parenteral saline or glutamine. (a) Expression of HSP90 in lung tissue at 2 h. (b) Expression of HSP90 in liver tissue at 12 h. (c) Expression of HSP70 in liver tissue at 12 h. (d) Expression of HSP70 in lung tissue at 12 h. (e) Expression of HSP70 in lung tissue at 24 h. (f) Expression of HSP90 in liver at 24 h. Data are expressed as medians. ≤ 0.050 versus glutamine group; ≤ 0.050 versus saline group; = 0.066 versus glutamine group; ≤ 0.050 versus nontreatment group.
