a HTV ventilation increases the lung wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) (upper panel), and lung-weight-to-body weight ratio (LW/BW) (lower panel) as compared with those assessed in the LTV group. b HTV ventilation significantly increased the protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (PCBAL). Treatment with SOD notably decreased HTV ventilation-associated increases in W/D and LW/BW ratio, and decreased PCBAL (* and # signify P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively)
