IL10 and acute respiratory distress syndrome: Analysis of lung tissue revealed that, in our model of intratracheal LPS administration, IL-1β and IFN-γ contents were 1.82 ng/mg and 2.3 ng/mg higher, respectively, in ARDS-Sal animals vs. Control-Sal animals (Figure 3A,C), while IL-10 content was 0.67 ng/mg lower in ARDS-Sal than in Control-Sal (Figure 3B).
