Fig. 1

Left lung histological score showed significantly higher values in NVLI-15 group in comparison to NVLI-7.5, which, however, were higher than MV-Control group (a). Right lung histological score showed significantly higher values in the NVLI-15 group in comparison to NVLI-7.5 and MV-Control groups (b). Left lung histological sub-scores including alveolar neutrophils infiltration, alveolar macrophage proliferation, interstitial congestion, alveolar hemorrhage, interstitial lymphocytes proliferation showed higher values in the NVLI-15 group (c). Data are expressed as scatter plot with bars and error bars (mean ± SEM). Comparisons were performed by Kruskal-Wallis test for non-normally distributed values (P-value reported in the graph) followed by Dunn’s multiple comparisons test (§p < 0.05 vs. NVLI-15 group). Sample size: NVLI-15 group n = 10; NVLI-7.5 n = 11; MV-Control n = 6.
