From: Moderately prolonged permissive hypotension results in reversible metabolic perturbation evaluated by intracerebral microdialysis - an experimental animal study

Fig. 4

Reversible metabolic perturbation. 60 min hypoperfusion. LP ratio and microdialysis levels of lactate, pyruvate, and glucose (median (interquartile range)) in brain parenchyma doing hemorrhagic shock in pigs (n = 9). Note that LP-ratio increases doing hemorrhagic shock but tends to normalize after re-infusion of blood. The rise of LP ratio is due to an increase in lactate levels whereas pyruvate shows a less pronounced elevation. Time 0 indicates achievement of MAP equal to 40 mmHg
