Figure 6

RT-PCR analysis of caspase-3, IL-6, IL1-β, type III procollagen (PCIII), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) mRNA expressions in lung tissue. Animals were randomly assigned to hypovolemia (HYPO), normovolemia (NORMO) or hypervolemia (HYPER) with recruitment maneuver (RM-CPAP) or not (NR). The y axis represents fold increase compared with NORMO-NR. Values are mean ± standard error of the mean of five animals in each group. †Significantly different from NR (P < 0.05). **Significantly different from HYPO-NR (P < 0.05). ‡Significantly different from HYPO-RM-CPAP (P < 0.05). #Significantly different from NORMO-NR (P < 0.05). §Significantly different from NORMO-RM-CPAP (P < 0.05).
