- aControl group (CG)—control mouse exposed to normoxia in air room, without surfactant. Surfactant group (SG)—mice were challenged with exogenous surfactant (surfactant challenge 2.0 mL/kg/day) by intranasal instillation (12 h before hyperoxia). Hyperoxia group (HG)—the animals were exposed to 100% oxygen in chamber for 24 h. For more details, see the “Methods” section. Hyperoxia-surfactant group (HSG)—mice were challenged with exogenous surfactant (surfactant challenge - 2.0 mL/kg/day) by intranasal instillation (12 h before hyperoxia) after exposure lungs to 100% oxygen in chamber for 24 h. significant difference between the groups when compared to the CG; bsignificant difference between the groups when compared to the SG; csignificant difference between the groups when compared to the HG. Data are expressed as mean ± SD and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Newman-Keuls’s post-test (p < 0.05)
