The q‐PCR array analysis suggested that the gavage‐given O‐Mit had decreased expression levels of the pro‐inflammatory cytokine genes IL‐6, IL‐1α, IL‐1β, CXCL1/2, and IFN‐γ, while the O‐Mit‐treated mice had an increased expression of the anti‐inflammatory genes IL‐27p28 and thrombopoietin when compared to the cytokine genes in the lung tissues of ALI mice[35] (Figure 1H). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
