A: tracheal vascular remodeling 14 days after LPAL. Top images are still frames taken from video recordings, and bottom images are bright-field images of tracheal vessels of rats after sham surgery and LPAL. Note the dilated and tortuous vessels of the LPAL relative to the sham-operated rats. Images provide confirmation that vascular remodeling occurs in the trachea after LPAL (representative images from individual rats; bar = 20 μm). B: tracheal vessel numbers and diameter in naive/sham rats (n = 11) and LPAL rats (n = 8). The total number of vessels seen, vessel diameters, and the number of capillaries feeding into a main venule were all significantly greater in LPAL rats than in the sham-operated group. **P < 0.009.
