respiratory system
• accumulation of excess fluid in the lungs 24 hours after intratracheal instillation with LPS or after lung infection with E. coli is reduced
• bronchoalveolar lavage protein concentrations reduced
|
hematopoietic system
• macrophage differentiation into osteoclasts is severely reduced in culture
• increased doses of RANKL increases osteoclast formation
|
• relative to controls after intratracheal instillation with LPS or after lung infection with E. coli
|
• relative to controls after intratracheal instillation with LPS or after lung infection with E. coli
|
• significantly reduced relative to controls in both blood and bronchoalveolar lavage after intratracheal instillation with LPS
|
• significantly reduced relative to controls in both blood and bronchoalveolar lavage after intratracheal instillation with LPS or after lung infection with E. coli

skeleton
• macrophage differentiation into osteoclasts is severely reduced in culture
• increased doses of RANKL increases osteoclast formation
|
• by microCT analysis
|
• thickness but not number is increased in tibias
|
• reduced cleavage of type I collagen
|
• osteoclast bone resorption is reduced unless RANKL concentration is elevated
|
cardiovascular system
• in active light cycle
|
• increased 15% relative to controls under isofluorane anaesthesia
|
• in active light cycle
• peripheral diastolic pressure is significantly increased
|
• peripheral systolic blood pressure is significantly increased
|
integument
• hair is preserved after 25 Gy irradiation
• minimal or no skin ulceration 8 weeks after irradiation
• hair follicles and skin architecture are better preserved than in controls
|
muscle
N |

• less loss of muscle fibers and nuclei after irradiation
|
homeostasis/metabolism
