Transient Receptor Potential Canonical Channels 4 and 5 Mediate Escherichia coli-Derived Thioredoxin Effects in Lipopolysaccharide-Injected Mice

Table 1

Inflammatory mediator levels in peritoneal lavage samples obtained from TRPC5+/+ and TRPC5−/− mice intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and pretreated subcutaneously with either vehicle (PBS; ) or bacterial thioredoxin (Trx; 20 μg/150 μl, twice a day, for 3 days, ). Animals treated with vehicle (PBS) were used as controls (). differs from the vehicle + vehicle group; differs from the vehicle + LPS group; differs from LPS-injected WT mice pretreated with bacterial Trx.
