Does low tidal volume ventilation preconditioning ameliorate lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in rats?
Low tidal volume ventilation preconditioning can attenuate release of pulmonary pro-inflammatory cytokines and decrease the AI induced by severe sepsis. Early protection seems to be mediated partly through inhibition of activation of a Rho pathway.
It seems the different response in percentage of change of MAP to graded Ang II infusion between male and female indicates the effect of CP on renin Ang system parameters.
