Figure 2

Representative photomicrographs of lung parenchyma in C-SAL, C-Gln, CLP-SAL and CLP-Gln. In CLP group, animals were submitted to cecal ligation and puncture technique. A sham-operated group was used as control (C) for animals undergoing CLP. One hour after surgery, C and CLP groups were treated with saline (SAL) or glutamine (Gln). Note the areas of alveolar collapse (arrows). Photomicrographs were taken at an original magnification of × 200 from slides stained by haematoxylin & eosin.
