Western blot and densitometry analysis of PECAM-1 protein in the lungs. Experimental groups: healthy, spontaneous breathing control rats (C); healthy, ventilated with low tidal volume (LVT); healthy, ventilated with high tidal volume (HVT); septic, spontaneous breathing animals (S); septic, ventilated with low tidal volume (SLVT); septic, ventilated with high tidal volume (SHVT). ***P <0.001 (HVT versus C and LVT; SHVT versus S and SLVT); ¶ P <0.001 for S versus C. PECAM1, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1.
