Levels of total lung protein, albumin, and lactate, and LDH activity. Lung tissue homogenates were subjected to the measurement of total protein by BCA assay (a), albumin by ELISA (b), lactate by a fluorometric assay (c), and LDH activity using a colorimetric method (d). The amounts of total protein, albumin, and lactate, and activity of LDH, were normalized with gram lung weight or total lung protein. Results shown are mean + SEM of measurements in lung tissue homogenates from 5 to 12 CD-1 mice per group (seven groups total). No statistically significant difference was observed in the measurement between the study groups (One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc analysis)
