Comparison of the effects of the RXR partial agonist NEt-4IB and the full agonist bexarotene on Lm, DI and Cst. a Experimental protocol. b (a) Lm values, (b) DI values. c Representative photographs of H&E-stained lung tissue (magnification: X200) (a) PBS/vehicle, (b) PBS/NEt-4IB 0.015%, (c) PBS/bexarotene 0.015%, (d) PPE/vehicle, (e) PPE/NEt-4IB 0.015%, (f) PPE/bexarotene 0.015%. d Cst values. The results for each group are expressed as the means ± SEM. This experiment was started with 8 mice in PBS/vehicle, PBS/NEt-4IB 0.015%, PBS/bexarotene 0.015%, and 10 mice in PPE/vehicle, PPE/NEt-4IB 0.015%, PPE/bexarotene 0.015%. No mice were died during the experimental period. * Significant differences (P < 0.05) between PBS/vehicle and PPE/vehicle. # Significant differences (P < 0.05) between PPE/vehicle and PPE/NEt-4IB 0.015% or PPE/bexarotene 0.015%
