Figure 2From: Inhibition of HMGCoA reductase by simvastatin protects mice from injurious mechanical ventilation Lung tissue histology. (A). Representative hematoxylin-eosin-stained mouse lung sections following high or low tidal volume (Vt) ventilation with simvastatin or normal saline. (B) Semiquantitative lung injury score comprising interstitial inflammation, alveolar inflammation and alveolar septal congestion [20]. (NS: normal saline; Simva: Simvastatin; *denotes p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001).Back to article page
