Cardiopulmonary Profile in Streptozotocin-Induced Type 1 Diabetic Rats during Systemic Endotoxemia
Figure 4
The albumin content in lung and lung wet/dry weight ratios in different groups after LPS administration. Albumin content in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was calculated as [(mg of albumin)/(mL of lavage fluid)]/(g of dried lung weight) after LPS administration (15 mg/kg, i.v.) in different groups. NS: normal rats injected with saline; NL: normal rats injected with LPS; SS: STZ-treated rats injected with saline; SL: STZ-treated rats injected with LPS. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M of 8 rats per group. , compared with the NS group; , compared with the SS group (one-way ANOVA).
