Table 1. Peripheral Blood Findings
*P < 0.05 and
†P < 0.001 comparing control and lipopolysaccharide.
‡P < 0.05,
§P < 0.005, and
#P < 0.001 comparing lipopolysaccharide and cyclophosphamide + lipopolysaccharide.
**P < 0.05 comparing lipopolysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide + nitric oxide (NO).
Control = aerosolized with saline and placed in room air for 6 h; Lipopolysaccharide = exposed (aerosolized) to lipopolysaccharide and placed in room air for 6 h; Cyclophosphamide + lipopolysaccharide = after intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide, aerosolized with lipopolysaccharide and placed in room air for 6 h; Lipopolysaccharide + NO = exposed to lipopolysaccharide and placed in 20 ppm nitric oxide for 6 h.
