PaCO2: arterial carbon dioxide tension; PaO2: arterial oxygen pressure tension; SaO2: oxygen saturation. Data are expressed as means ± SEM of eight rats per group obtained 240 min after injection of LPS or saline. *P < 0.05, compared with the NS group; ***P < 0.05, compared with the SS group; ****P < 0.05, compared with the SES group (one-way ANOVA).
