U = P < 0.05 versus unoperated animals
Sx-y = P < 0.05 versus sham-operated animals from day x until day y
Lx-y = P < 0.05 versus LIRI animals from day x until day y
FiO2 = Fraction of inspired Oxygen; LIRI = Lung Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury; PaO2 = Arterial Oxygen pressure; PaCO2 = Arterial Carbon dioxide pressure; SEM = Standard-Error of the Mean
