From: Sepsis modeling in mice: ligation length is a major severity factor in cecal ligation and puncture
Serum creatinine and blood lactate variations according to ligation distance at 6 h after procedure as markers of organ dysfunction. a Blood lactate increased proportionally with the length of the ligated cecum. b At 6 h, serum creatinine augmented significantly 1.5 times in the 100 % group compared to the sham mice. Results are reported as median ± IQR. *p < 0.05; n = 14 to 20 per group
