Effects of FTY720 on Lung Injury Induced by Hindlimb Ischemia Reperfusion in Rats

Figure 1

Lung wet/dry weight ratio and PMN/alveolus ratio. Rats were divided into five groups: groups SM, IR, F3, F5, and F10. The rats in group SM received sham operation and bilateral limb IR (ischemia 3 h/reperfusion 3 h) in group IR. The rats in groups F3, F5, and F10 were treated with FTY720 3 mg/kg/d, 5 mg/kg/d, and 10 mg/kg/d, respectively, for 7 consecutive days before limb IR. Upon 3 h reperfusion, wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and PMN/alveolus ratio (P/A) were calculated. (a) wet/dry weight ratio; (b) PMN/alveolus ratio. versus group SM; # versus group IR.
