Effect of Stat3β ablation on T/HS‐induced lung apoptosis. Stat3β homozygous‐deficient (Stat3β^Δ/Δ) mice and their littermate control wild‐type mice were subjected to the murine T/HS protocol or sham protocol and their lungs were harvested 1 hour after the start of resuscitation. Nucleosome levels were measured in protein extracts of frozen sections of the lungs and the results were corrected for total protein. Data presented are the mean ± SEM of each group (n≥ 3). Significant differences (p < 0.05, one‐way ANOVA) are indicated by an asterisk (*).
