Hourly measured serum NO during LTV (white) and HTV ventilation (black) and HTV ventilation with SOD administration (grey). Both LTV and HTV ventilation decreased serum NO. LTV ventilation decreased serum NO primarily during the first 2 h of ventilation (P < 0.05), whereas HTV ventilation decreased serum NO throughout most of the 5 h of ventilation (P < 0.05, except at 4 h). Notably, SOD administration monotonically increased serum NO level during the course of HTV ventilation
