Magnesium Hydride Ameliorates Endotoxin-Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome by Inhibiting Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Cell Apoptosis

Figure 5

Effects of MgH2 on inflammatory response and cell apoptosis in lung tissues of endotoxemia mice. (a) Protein concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in BALF. (b) RT-qPCR analysis of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the lung tissues. (c) and (d) The effects of MgH2 on cell apoptosis were tested by TUNEL staining in the lung tissues (200x). (e) and (f) The levels of critical apoptosis-related proteins and barrier-related proteins in the lung tissues. Data are presented as mean ± SD. vs. the CON group, vs. the LPS group.
