Figure 5.

Response to hypocapnia after CO₂ preloading. Change from baseline values for C-rSO₂ (A), etCO₂ (B), and CC flow (C). Bars represent the average of six animals and each letter represents a significant difference between the bars within the group. Asterisks represent a significant difference between the CO₂-preloaded group and the naïve group. Panels D–F depict the correlation between C-rSO₂ and etCO₂, CC flow and etCO₂, and C-rSO₂ and CC flow, respectively. All parameters correlate significantly
