Lumen patency of small caliber pulmonary arteries and arterioles of the four groups at each time interval point. BC-treated rats show marked wall thickening and reduced lumen patency at day 7 and 21. No significant differences were observed in the lumen patency of arteries of rats instilled with the vehicle. The symbols represent means, boxes represent standard error, and the whiskers represent standard deviation values.
