Stereological estimation of the volume of interalveolar septum (a), and components of the blood air barrier. Alveolar epithelium (b), septal interstitium (c) and capillary endothelium (d). None of the estimates showed significant group differences (interalveolar septum p = 0.636; alveolar epithelium p = 0.078; septal interstitium p = 0.262; capillary endothelium p = 0.930). Data points depict individual animals, bars indicate group means, V volume, alvsept interalveolar septum, alvepi alveolar epithelium, septint interstitium of interalveolar septum, capendo capillary endothelium, contr control group, isch ischaemia group, aEVLP acellular EVLP group, cEVLP cellular EVLP group
