Lung Matrix Metalloproteinase Activation following Partial Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Figure 5
Changes of lung granulocytes in response to hepatic I/R injury. Lung samples were obtained from sham-operated rats, not submitted to hepatic I/R, and from rats whose hepatic lobes were submitted to 30 min of ischemia and hence reperfused for 60 min. The number of granulocytes was calculated per microscopic field. *. Data are shown as mean values ± SEM.
