TNF and Sepsis: The concentration of the inflammatory cytokine, TNFα, in peritoneal lavage of the Ed-LPM treated group remained similar to that of the sham group, whereas the vehicle treated septic group displayed significantly higher TNFα concentrations (Sham = 34.1 +/− 11.6 pg/mL vs. Sepsis + PBS = 91.2 +/− 55 vs. pg/mL vs. Sepsis + Ed-LPM = 61.3 +/− 18.9, p = 0.018) (Figure S1A).
