Effects of nitrogen mustard on baseline lung function. Total lung resistance (R), total lung compliance (C), central airway resistance (Raw), static compliance (Cst), tissue damping (G), elastance (H), hysteresivity (eta), and end-tidal volume (ETV) were evaluated following exposure of rats to PBS (CTL) or nitrogen mustard (NM). Each bar represents the absolute value, mean±SE (n=5 rats). *Significantly different (p≤0.05) from CTL.
