18. Upper respiratory infections by bacteria such as non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae characterized by inflammation in the airways. The compound resveratrol (Res) reduce inflammation in joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, NTHi-induced inflammation in the lungs by decreasing expression of the 1B and IL-6 in the lung of mice infected with NTHi. An experiment to inflammation w has been shown to resveratrol may reduce proteins IL test the effects of resveratrol on as conducted. Mice were infected with or without NTHl and treated with or without resveratrol. The expression of the pro-inflammatory proteins was measured. The data are as follows: 60 IL-1p 100 I-6 50 20 NTHI+ NTH+ Res+ Res Answer the following questions. (13 pts total) A. The best hypothesis would be (2 pts) a) NTHi induces inflammation in the lung of mice b) Resveratrol decreases expression of NTHi-induced proinflammatory cytokines c) Resveratrol decreases inflammation in the lung of mice d) NTHi induces expression of proinflammatory cytokines B. What is/are the prediction(s)? (2 pts) Resveratrol decreases inflammation in the lung of mice a) b) NTHi induces expression of IL-6 and IL-1β c) Resveratrol decreases expression of NTHi-induced IL-6 and IL-1 B d) NTHi decreases expression of IL-6 and IL-1 β C. What are the independent and dependent variables are (2 pts) D. What are the experimental and control groups? (2 pts) E. What are the results? (2 pts) What can you conclude? (2 pts) Does the data support or fail to support the hypothesis and predictions?(1 pt) F.
