(A) Body weight of the animals after 72 h of the first instillation. (B) Lung weight of the animals corrected by their body weight (g/g). (C) Total protein measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage. (D) Oxygen saturation measured in aortic blood. (E) Lung injury scored where we measured hemorrhage, peribronchial infiltration, interstitial edema, pneumocyte hyperplasia, and intraalveolar infiltration. (F) Alveolar and Peri-bronchial Cell Infiltration lung histological sub-score. (G) Representative hematoxylin and eosin histological images at × 40 and × 200 magnification to have an overview and alveolar details for each experimental groups. N numbers are shown in each analysis, individual values are shown in all graphs. Data shown by mean ± SEM. *p ≤ 0.05 vs the control group; #p ≤ 0.05 vs the HCl/LPS group. One-way-ANOVA followed by Neuman-Keuls post hoc test was applied.
