From: Susceptibility to ventilator induced lung injury is increased in senescent rats
Markers of systemic inflammation during mechanical ventilation (MV) in young and old rats. Young (black circles) and old (white circles) rats were ventilated with tidal volumes (VT) of 8, 16 or 24 ml/kg, respectively. PMN, blood neutrophil counts; IL-1β, Interleukin-1β in serum; IL-6, Interleukin-6 in serum. *, P <0.05 old vs. young animals; #, §, P <0.05 time point vs. start of MV.
