From: Why do they die? Comparison of selected aspects of organ injury and dysfunction in mice surviving and dying in acute abdominal sepsis

Figure 3

Retrospective comparison of organ function between dying and surviving septic mice using death as reference point. Plasma levels of (A) ALT, (B) LDH, (C) urea and (D) glucose in mice subjected to CLP were compared between those that either died (CLP-Only DIED) or survived (CLP-Only SUR) and additionally to surviving CLP-ODam mice (CLP-ODam SUR). For (A) to (D) in the CLP-Only group: at 72 h, DIED n = 9 and SUR n = 35; at 48 h, DIED n = 33 and SUR n ≥ 30; at 24 h, DIED n = 42 and SUR n = 40. In the CLP-ODam SUR group, an average value of all combines measurements (i.e. taken at 24, 48 and 72 h post-CLP; n = 9) is shown at the 24 h prior death time point; *p < 0.05 between CLP-Only DIED and SUR #p < 0.05 between CLP-Only DIED and CLP-ODam SUR. Dotted lines indicate normal range. Data points shown as mean ± SD.
