From: Vitamin A deficiency alters the pulmonary parenchymal elastic modulus and elastic fiber concentration in rats

Figure 4

Shear modulus is decreased in vitamin A deficiency (VAD). The shear modulus (mean ± SEM, n = 9 for each treatment group (the same as in Fig. 2) increased significantly after carbamylcholine (CCh), (*) p < 0.05 post-CCh (open bars) compared to pre-CCh (solid bars). (#) p < 0.05, post-CCh for VAD + 12d RA compared to post-CCh for VAS. (+) p < 0.05 VAD + 21 d RA compared to VAD + 12 d RA, post-CCh. 3-way ANOVA, Student-Newman-Keuls post-hoc test.
