Effects of FTY720 on Lung Injury Induced by Hindlimb Ischemia Reperfusion in Rats

Figure 3

Histological changes in lung tissues. Rats were divided into five groups: groups SM, IR, F3, F5, and F10. The rats in group SM received sham operation and bilateral limb IR (ischemia 3 h/reperfusion 3 h) in group IR. The rats in groups F3, F5, and F10 were treated with FTY720 3 mg/kg/d, 5 mg/kg/d, and 10 mg/kg/d, respectively, for 7 consecutive days before limb IR. Upon 3 h reperfusion, lung damage was examined under a light microscope and the modified histological scoring system was evaluated.
