C/EBP homologous protein deficiency aggravates acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury

Figure 5 Mice deficient in C/EBP homologous protein displayed increased interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the lungs. Levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (A), and interleukin (IL)-6 (B) were detected 9 h (A) and 24 h (B) after induction of acute pancreatitis in Chop^-/- and wild-type (WT) mice. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6). The data are normally distributed. ^aP < 0.050 vs WT mice without pancreatitis; ^cP < 0.05 vs WT mice with pancreatitis.
