    GDF7 attenuates LPS-induced ALI through activating AMPK in vivo. (a) Mice were subcutaneously injected with rmGDF7 (25 μ g per mouse), and 24 h later, ALI mice were intratracheally injected with LPS (5 mg/kg in 50 μ L saline) to generate sepsis-induced ALI.

(b) To inhibit AMPK, ALI mice were intraperitoneally injected with CpC (20 mg/kg) at 2 h pre- and 2 h post-rmGDF7 injection, and then IL-6 and TNF- α levels in lung tissues were detected ( n = 6).
