Effects of etomidate on the HO-1/Nrf2 pulmonary pathway. (A) HO-1 mRNA expression; (B) Nrf2 mRNA expression; (C) western blot analysis results of (D) Nrf2 and (E) HO-1, expressed as the mean ± SD. aP<0.05 vs. CG; bP<0.05 vs. MG; cP<0.05 vs. EHG; dP<0.05 vs. ELG. HO-1, heme oxygenase-1; Nrf2, nuclear factor-erythroid 2-p45-related factor 2; CG, blank control group; MG, model group; ELG, high oxygen exposure + low etomidate dose group (0.3 mg·kg-1); EMG, high oxygen exposure + moderate etomidate dose group (3.0 mg·kg-1); EHG, high oxygen exposure + high etomidate dose group (10 mg·kg-1).
