Effect of insulin on sepsis-induced ALI. Non-diabetic, diabetic and insulin-treated diabetic rats were subjected to CLP or SHAM (false operated) surgery and after 6 hours the BAL was collected. (A) Total leukocyte count in the BAL was determined under light microscopy. (B) Edema was assessed as increased protein concentration in the BAL and expressed as a fold increase compared to SHAM-operated rats. (C) PGE2 concentration was determined by ELISA. Data are presented as mean + - SEM. *p < 0.01.
