Treadmill Exercise Preconditioning Attenuates Lung Damage Caused by Systemic Endotoxemia in Type 1 Diabetic Rats
Figure 6
Histological examination of right upper lobe taken after 240 min of saline or LPS administration. (a) NS: nondiabetic rats injected with saline; (b) NL: nondiabetic rats injected with LPS; (c) SS: STZ-induced diabetic rats injected with saline; (d) SL: STZ-induced diabetic rats injected with LPS; (e) SES: STZ-induced diabetic rats with exercise injected with saline; (f) SEL: STZ-induced diabetic rats with exercise injected with LPS. The interstitial spaces of alveoli became wider after LPS administration, due to polymorphonuclear cell infiltration and edematous changes of alveolar walls (b), (d). Scale bar: 10 μm.
