Blood gas levels and metabolic pane
| pH | pO2 (mmHg) | pCO2 (mmHg) | Na+ (mmol/L) | K+ (mmol/L) | Ca2+ (mmol/L) | Cl− (mmol/L) | Glucose (mg/dl) | Lactate (mmol/L) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control (n = 5–8) | 7.40 ± 0.06 | 61.82 ± 9.17 | 22.24 ± 5.84 | 134.10 ± 6.17 | 6.82 ± 1.46 | 1.27 ± 0.15 | 107.50 ± 7.90 | 36.33 ± 11.93 | 0.76 ± 0.21 |
| Hyperoxia (n = 5–8) | 7.38 ± 0.33 | 141.48 ± 9.23* | 18.96 ± 6.29 | 132.82 ± 8.59 | 8.10 ± 1.28 | 1.28 ± 0.34 | 103.60 ± 13.05 | 40.00 ± 12.69 | 0.85 ± 0.17 |
pO2 levels in mice exposed to hyperoxia (48 h, from P6 to P8) were significantly higher than those of mice kept in room air over the same time period. No change was observed for any metabolic panel parameter between the hyperoxia and control groups. Data are shown as mean ± SD, using an unpaired t test comparing control versus hyperoxia, where *p < 0.001.
