Fig. 3From: Focal ischemic stroke leads to lung injury and reduces alveolar macrophage phagocytic capability in ratsPhagocytic capability of alveolar macrophages in Sham and Stroke animals (a). Alveolar macrophages were exposed to serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from Sham and Stroke animals (n = 6/each). Phagocytic capability (b) as well as gene expressions of interleukin (IL)-6 (c) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (d) were analyzed. Values are mean ± SD of 6 animals/group.
