TABLE 3

Linear Regression Between Regional Lung Expression of Cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10) and Regional Phosphorylation Rate k₃ for LPS− and LPS+ Groups

	LPS−		LPS+
Cytokine	R²	P	R²	P
TNF-α	0.02	0.45	0.01	0.58
IL-1β	0.01	0.65	0.14	0.026^*
IL-6	0.01	0.80	0.04	0.22
IL-8	0.01	0.93	0.18	0.011
IL-10	0.07	0.14	0.14	0.023^*

↵* Correlation was still significant after removing outlier point (IL-1β: R² = 0.15, P = 0.019; IL-10: R² = 0.10, P = 0.029).
Coefficients of determination (R²) and P values for correlation between k₃ and regionally measured cytokines.
