Figure 5From: The receptor for advanced glycation end products in ventilator-induced lung injurysRAGE in lung lavage fluid in 1-hit VILI. Soluble RAGE (sRAGE) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of wild-type (WT) mice ventilated for 5Â h with low tidal volumes (LVT ~ 7.5Â ml/kg) or high tidal volumes (HVT ~ 15Â ml/kg) (VILI) (A). In addition, sRAGE (B) in BALF of WT mice in a 2-hit model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure followed by mechanical ventilation for 5Â h with low tidal volumes (LVT ~ 7.5Â ml/kg) or high tidal volumes (HVT ~ 15Â ml/kg). Data represent mean (SEM) of n = 6 to 9 mice/group. **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.Back to article page
