Effect of sepsis and running exercise on surfactant pool size in lung lavage from aged mice. a The total was the sum of functional large aggregates and the inactive small aggregates of phospholipids (PL) measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The large aggregate (b) and small aggregate sub-fractions were measured to assess the large aggregate percentage (c), a measure of the relative amount of functional lung surfactant. #Effect of running exercise versus non-exercise; P < 0.05: n = 6, 5, 6, and 6 for bars, left to right, respectively (a, b, c)
