Evaluation of lung mechanics in all animal groups upon ventilator injury. Lung function parameters were measured using the flexiVent system in mice undergoing ventilation with high (25 ml/kg) or low (8 ml/kg) tidal volume for 4 h. a Static compliance was evaluated by a single quasi-static pressure–volume curve. Lung tissue elastance b and lung tissue resistance c were evaluated via forced-oscillation technique (n = 5 per group). ATX autotaxin, CC10 Clara cell 10-kDa protein, LTV low tidal volume, HTV high tidal volume, Cst static compliance, H lung tissue elastance, G lung tissue damping
