Endothelial permeability was measured by BAL fluid protein concentrations (at 0-6,39,40 7-24,32,39,40 and 25-48 hours39,40 post sepsis induction), BAL fluid albumin concentrations (at >72 hours38 post sepsis induction), and lung wet/dry ratio (at 0-6,35,39,40 7-24,33,35,39,40 25-48,35,39,40 and >72 hours35 post sepsis induction; Table 3; Supplementary Fig. S8). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is Sepsis.
