Results derived from the Snapshot 150 and the Quick prime-3 maneuvers using the forced oscillation technique (FOT). A: respiratory system elastance (Ers) and compliance (Crs) were significantly different (increased and decreased, respectively), while overall resistance (Rrs) of the respiratory system (i.e., including lungs, airways, and chest wall) did not reach statistical significance. B: tissue damping (G) and tissue elasticity (H) were both significantly increased; however, airways resistance (i) and tissue hysteresivity (G/H) were not changed in Crtap knockout (KO) compared with wild-type (WT)/Het mice. N = 8–10 each genotype. Student’s t test.
