Figure 7

Comparison of pathomorphologic changes mitochondrial function between dying and surviving septic mice using prospective stratification of outcome. Mice were subjected to CLP, monitored for BT and stratified into either predicted to die (P-DIE) or predicted to survive (P-SUR). Upon identification, P-DIE and P-SUR mice were always sacrificed in pairs (days 1 to 3 post-CLP) and additionally compared to the healthy animals (CTRL). HE-staining of (A) lung, (B) liver, (C) kidney and (D) heart was performed. P-DIE and P-SUR n = 11 and CTRL n = 7. Representative photographs are shown (original magnification ×10).
