Table 3. Ventilation data recorded during baseline and hypercapnic challenge in C2 hemilesioned rats with moderate sparing of VM white matter and uninjured, control rats.
Values are means ± SE. The results of the two-way repeated measures ANOVA are provided for group (C2HS vs. sparing), condition (baseline vs. hypercapnia), and the interaction term. Ti, inspiratory duration; Te, expiratory duration; VT/TI, mean inspiratory airflow rate; TI:TTOT, ratio of inspiratory duration to total breath duration; PIF, peak inspiratory airflow rate; PEF, peak expiratory airflow rate
