From: 0036. Confocal imaging of impaired mitochondrial function in the cerebral cortex of rats during haemorrhagic shock in vivo

Figure 1

(A) Images of the somatosensory cortex at baseline, haemorrhagic shock, and at 30 and 60 minutes after shock. Green mitochondrial FAD autofluorescence indicates an oxygenated environment, and in shick this is only maintained within ~30-40 μm of arteries. (B) Ratio of the FAD (I) and TMRM (II) fluorescence intensity of the halo extending 30-40 μm, from arterioles/arteries to venules/veins in rats undergoing haemorrhagic shock. *Within a time-point, the value is significantly different from sham (p <0.01).
