Figure 6From: Sepsis protects the myocardium and other organs from subsequent ischaemic/reperfusion injury via a MAPK-dependent mechanism Endotoxin exposure protects human kidney cells from hypoxia-induced cell death. Bar chart depicting cell viability as measured by MTT assay of HK2 cells expressed as % of normoxia controls. Groups were normoxia and hypoxia controls and cells pretreated with LPS prior to incubation under conditions of hypoxia (n = 6 per group). The figure demonstrates the protective effect of endotoxin exposure against hypoxia-induced cell death. *Significantly different (p < 0.02, Students t test).Back to article page
