Fig. 2From: Plasmadiafiltration ameliorating gut mucosal barrier dysfunction and improving survival in porcine sepsis modelsPlasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) (a) and high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) (b) levels obtained at different points of time. Definitive protection from overwhelming TNF-α and HMGB1 response were only achieved by plasmadiafiltration (PDF). Attenuation of cytokines was most effective in animals undergoing PDF.
