From: Double impact of cigarette smoke and mechanical ventilation on the alveolar epithelial type II cell
Protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid with and without exposure to smoke and mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation plus smoke exposure (S-V) led to significant increases in bronchiolar lavage (BAL) fluid protein content compared to normal controls (P < 0.01). Even though the P-value is less than 0.01, the addition of cigarette smoke exposure to ventilated rats did not lead to a significant further increase of BAL protein content after correction for false discovery rate (NSV vs. SV). The bars to the right of the data points indicate means ± SD. NS-NV: nonsmoke/nonventilated; NS-V: Ventilation alone; S-NV: Smoke/nonventilated.
