Figure 2 PVR over 7 hours of reperfusion. Clamping the right main pulmonary artery caused a significant increase in PVR in both groups. Differences in PVR over 7 hours were statistically significant between both groups (P= .01). LPD, Low-potassium dextran; GSH, glutathione; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance; Anova, analysis of variance.

Figure 3 SA/LA ratio of the BALF phospholipid composition 2 hours after reperfusion compared with control BALF collected from recipient native lungs. SA/LA, Small to large aggregate; LPD, low-potassium dextran; GSH, glutathione.
