Definition of abbreviations: a, b, and c are parameters of RL; a and c reflect RL at low frequencies; b reflects RL at high frequencies. E0, ΔE, and β are parameters of EL; EL, elastance spectra curve; RL, resistance spectra curve.

E0 represents EL at 0 Hz. ΔE reflects the magnitude of EL, and β the rate of EL change with frequency. Lung function was measured 72 hours after exposure of Sftpd+/+ and Sftpd−/− mice to air or ozone. Each measurement was performed in triplicate. Values represent the means ± SEM of three experiments (n = 4–6 mice/treatment group/experiment; n = 12–18 mice/group total). Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA.
