Fig 2 Group mean exercise data for the placebo (PL) and ICS groups before (pre-trt) and after (post-trt) the treatment period: Pao2 (A), Paco2 (B), AaDo2 (C), Sao2 (D), and arterial blood pH (E). Bars are means ± SDs. ∗Significant difference between pretreatment and posttreatment values within a group (P < .05).
