A hyperoxic lung injury model in premature rabbits: the influence of different gestational ages and oxygen concentrations.
BACKGROUND: Many animal models have been developed to study bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The preterm rabbit is a low-cost, easy-to-handle model, but it has a high mortality rate in response to the high oxygen concentrations used to induce lung injury. The aim of this study was to compare the mo...
