Arterial and venous fraction of pulmonary vascular resistance during normoxic ventilation; a. Average values of arterial resistance (PAP-PCP = pulmonary artery pressure - pulmonary capillary pressure) during normoxic ventilation (21%O2) in lungs obtained from saline-treated controls (open bars) and from LPS-treated mice (black bars) after exposure to air or to 50 ppm CO for 18 h. No CO- or LPS-induced alterations in arterial resistance during normoxic ventilation were found. b. Average values of venous resistance (PCP-LAP = pulmonary capillary pressure - left atrial pressure, with LAP = 2 mmHg) during normoxic ventilation in lungs obtained from saline-treated controls (open bars) and from LPS-treated mice (black bars) after exposure to air or to 50 ppm CO for 18 h. No CO- or LPS-induced alterations in venous resistance during normoxic ventilation were found. Data are presented in mmHg as mean ± SD; n = 6–8 per group
