Morphological Characteristics of the Thymus and Spleen and the Subpopulation Composition of Lymphocytes in Peripheral Blood during Systemic Inflammatory Response in Male Rats with Different Resistance to Hypoxia

Figure 4

The volume fraction of the thymus cortex in tolerant- and susceptible-to-hypoxia rats after 3, 6, and 24 hours of LPS administration. Data are presented as median (25%, 75%); the statistical significance of differences (p) between tolerant and susceptible rats is determined by the Mann-Whitney U test and between different time points after LPS injection by the Kruskal-Wallis method ( = 5 in each group).
