From: Male versus female inflammatory response after brain death model followed by ex vivo lung perfusion
Interleukin-1β concentrations on perfusate samples at 240 min of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) (A), gene expression (B), and concentration on lung explant (C). Animals were submitted to brain death (BD—4 h), and their lungs were placed in the EVLP (4 h). As controls, Sham animals had their lungs placed in EVLP (4 h). A, C data are expressed as mean ± SEM from five animals and B data is expressed as median and 95% percentile interval from five animals. A P = 0.073 by Sex, P = 0.007 by BD and P = 0.1172 by Sex interaction with BD, calculated with two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). B P was calculated with Mann Whitney test. C P = 0.491 by Sex, P = 0.0093 by BD and P = 0.2599 Sex interaction with BD, calculated with two-way ANOVA
