Effect of hyperoxia on the activity of caspases in TIIcells
| Control | Hyperoxia | |
| Caspase 8 (n = 6) | 100 | 143 ± 14* |
| Caspase 3 (n = 6) | 100 | 168 ± 23* |
| Caspase 9 (n = 3) | 100 | 108 ± 11 |
Caspase activity in freshly prepared TIIcells of rats exposed to air (control) or oxygen for 48 hrs (hyperoxia) was determined colorimetrically as described in Materials and Methods. Values are means ± S.D. given in arbitrary units (control = 100). Asterisk indicates a significant difference to control (p < 0.05).
