IL6 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: In vivo analysis confirmed a notable increase in the number of neutrophils/macrophages and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), myeloperoxidase (MPO), interleukin (IL)-6/IL-1β, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of COPD mice, which was attenuated by oral gavage of ARO.
