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
Cmax = Maximal compliance of the expiration curve, corrected for body weight; LIRI = Lung Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury; SEM = Standard-Error of the Mean; Vmax = Maximal lung volume corrected for body weight at a pressure of 35 cm H2O
