Inflammatory markers in lung parenchyma.

Group	CG	MVG4	MVG8	MVG12
IL-1 (pg/mL)				^a,b
IL-6 (pg/mL)				^a,b
TNF-α (pg/mL)				^a,b
CCL5 (pg/mL)				^a

CG: control group; MVG4: mechanical ventilation group 4 mL/kg; MVG8: mechanical ventilation group 8 mL/kg; MVG12: mechanical ventilation group 12 mL/kg; IL-1: interleukin 1; IL-6: interleukin 6; TNF: tumor necrosis factor; CCL5: CC chemokine ligand-5 (CCL5/RANTES). ^aRepresents a significant difference in relation to CG. ^bRepresents a significant difference in relation to MVG4.
