Cultured mouse macrophages and mice exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide were used as inflammatory lung-injury models.
What the researchers measured
Reactive oxygen species, antioxidant activity, cytokines, signaling proteins, inflammatory cells, and lung histology were assessed.
How to read this evidence
Researchers studied cells, isolated tissue, or animals. These experiments can help explain a mechanism, but do not establish benefits or safety in people. Human cells grown in a laboratory also belong in this category.
Results in context
The models test experimentally triggered inflammation. They do not establish treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients.
What this does not establish
An induced mouse injury and cell assays do not establish human acute-lung-injury treatment.
