Attenuation of Acute Lung Inflammation and Injury by Whole Body Cooling in a Rat Heatstroke Model

Figure 1

Values of ambient temperature, core temperature, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate for normothermic rats (▵), untreated heat stressed rats (•), and heat stressed rats treated with whole body cooling (WBC) for 20 minute (□). Points represent mean ± SEM or 8 rats per group. [*P < .05 in comparison with normothermic control values; ^†P < .05 in comparison with untreated heat stressed rats]. The duration of WBC is indicated by the dashed line.
