Effect of ciclesonide administration on lung morphometric analysis in an experimental i.a. enterotoxin administration model. Values of (A) radial alveolar counts, (B) mean lineal intercept, (C) pulmonary vascular density, and (D) pulmonary vascular wall thickness in saline-control rats (CTL), rats who received i.a. exposure to enterotoxin (ETX), and rats who received i.a. exposure to enterotoxin and subcutaneous administration of ciclesonide (ETX-Cicle). The numbers of pups studied in each group are as follows: CTL, n = 19; ETX, n = 20; ETX-Cicle, n = 19. *p < 0.05 vs. ETX group; #p < 0.05 vs. CTL group.
