Correlation between Hif1-α mRNA expression and clinical parameters
| Status | Hif1-α mRNA/Neutrophils (%) | Hif1-α mRNA/PaO2 (mmHg) | Hif1-α mRNA/X5HZ (kPa/L-1/s) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Coefficient of correlations (r) between Hif1-α mRNA levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells and neutrophil percentages in BALF, reactance at 5 Hz (X5HZ), and arterial pressure of oxygen PaO2. These values were measured separately in challenged healthy and recurrent airway obstruction-affected horses. (*P < 0.05)
