Fig. 3From: Myocardial oxidative stress correlates with left ventricular dysfunction on strain echocardiography in a rodent model of sepsisQuantitative real-time PCR of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, and Il-6) and mitochondrial free radical scavengers (SOD-2, GPX-2, Catalase) at 24 and 48 h following CLP. Significant increase in TNF-α, IL-1, and Il-6 is seen at 24 and 48 h in the CLP group when compared to sham and control (a–c). Significant decrease in mitochondrial ROS scavengers is seen at 24 and 48 h post-surgery in the CLP group when compared to sham and control (d–f)Back to article page
