The inhibition of SIRT1 prevents metformin from ameliorating the morphological characteristics and endothelial hyperpermeability of ALI. NAM (60 mg/kg) was administered 1 h before metformin administration. (A) Representative HE staining of lung tissues. (B) Immunohistochemistry analysis of F4/80. (C) Immunohistochemistry of MPO. (D and E) Lung W/D and Evans-blue dye extravasation were determined as indexes of pulmonary edema. Original magnification, ×200. Scale bar, 50 μm. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 7). **p < 0.01 vs. Control group, ##p < 0.01 vs. LPS group. &&p < 0.01 vs. LPS + Met group.
