When comparing DM mouse lungs with and without sepsis (DM + LPS vs. DM), we observed that most pro‐inflammatory markers, including TNF‐α, IL‐1β, MCP‐1, and IL‐6, were significantly elevated in both DM and sepsis, but none were significantly higher in the DM + LPS group compared to either of the single arms (Figure 7A–H). This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and Sepsis.
