A model of pulmonary atelectasis in rats : activation of alveolar macrophage and cytokine release

A model of pulmonary atelectasis in rats was developed in a study. An attempt was also made to determine whether alveolar macrophages produce interleukin-I (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in response to atelectasis. According to the results, increased IL-1 or TNF production by alveolar macroph...

Zusammenfassung:	A model of pulmonary atelectasis in rats was developed in a study. An attempt was also made to determine whether alveolar macrophages produce interleukin-I (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in response to atelectasis. According to the results, increased IL-1 or TNF production by alveolar macrophages may be responsible for fever caused by atelectasis.
