TABLE 2.

Assessment of pulmonary edema development by calculating lung tissue weight loss.

	SHAM	2VO	MCAO
Tissue weight loss (%)	76.2 (75.1–77.7)	78.0 (76.7–80.4)	77.3 (69.4–79.4)
Lung tissue weight loss corrected to body weight (%/g)	0.216 (0.201–0.268)	0.250 (0.222–0.271)	0.290* (0.243–0.354)

Lung tissue weight loss is expressed as percentage of wet weight and normalized to the body weight obtained before the measurements. Abbreviations: SHAM: sham surgery; 2VO: bilateral common carotid artery occlusion, MCAO: middle cerebral artery occlusion. *: p < 0.05 vs. SHAM and 2VO groups. Data are given as mean (max-min).
