From: 0988. Human neutrophil peptides play an important role in the pathogenesis of ARDS
HNP contributes to lung injury. A. Loss of body weight. B. higher neutrophil count. C. increased total protein concentration in BALF, and D. decreased lung compliance in HNP+/+ mice 48h after HCI (3 ml/kg) challenge. E. Lung lung compliance remained low in HNP+/+ mice 14 days ater HCI installation and mechanical ventilsation (MV) at either low pressure (LP) or high pressure (HP). *p<0.05 as compared to other groups.
