Figure 3From: Levosimendan affects oxidative and inflammatory pathways in the diaphragm of ventilated endotoxemic mice Cytokine levels in diaphragm homogenates. Mechanically ventilated endotoxemic mice (MV LPS) and mechanically ventilated endotoxemic mice treated with levosimendan (MV LPS + L) had increased levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC) and decreased level of IL-10 (*P <0.05 versus unventilated mice (CON)). L, Levosimendan; LPS, Lipopolysaccharide.Back to article page
