Ghrelin Protects Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury Rats against Pulmonary Vascular Dysfunction by Inhibiting Inflammation

<div>Ghrelin pretreatment reduced the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of LPS-induced ALI rats. (a) The mean mPAP and (b) RVSP were measured at 4 h after the LPS challenge (5 mg/kg). Data are presented as the mean ± SD (<i>n</i> = 4–6).</div>
