Treadmill Exercise Preconditioning Attenuates Lung Damage Caused by Systemic Endotoxemia in Type 1 Diabetic Rats

Figure 5

The lung wet/dry weight ratios and albumin content in lung lavage at 240 min after administration of saline or LPS. Albumin content in the brochoalveolar lavage fluid was calculated as [(mg of albumin)/(mL of lavage fluid)]/(g of dried lung weight). NS: nondiabetic rats injected with saline; NL: nondiabetic rats injected with LPS; SS: STZ-induced diabetic rats injected with saline; SL: STZ-induced diabetic rats injected with LPS; SES: STZ-induced diabetic rats with exercise injected with saline; SEL: STZ-induced diabetic rats with exercise injected with LPS. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of eight rats per group. ^∗𝑃<0.05, compared with the NS group; ^†𝑃<0.05, compared with the NL group; ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.05, compared with the SS group; ^‡𝑃<0.05, compared with the SL group; ^∗∗∗∗𝑃<0.05, compared with the SES group (one-way ANOVA).
