Fig. 2From: Clinical-grade mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord improve septic shock in pigsUCMSCs protect from sepsis-induced hypotension and tissue hypoxia. Evolution of (a) mean arterial pressure (MAP), (b) norepinephrine requirements, (c) SvO2, (d) arterial lactate concentration, (e) cardiac index (CI), and (f) heart rate over the 24-h study period. MAP and SvO2 were higher in UCMSC-treated animals than controls; whereas, norepinephrine dose and lactate levels were lower.
