Median (interquartile range) values of lactate, pyruvate and glucose concentrations in the hemisphere in the controls and NE group during the experiment. Note that the increase in LP ratio in the control group during hypoperfusion is due to an increase in lactate simultaneously with a decrease in pyruvate. After resuscitation the lactate levels in the control group remains elevated but he pyruvate levels trends towards normalising. In addition, note the normalisation of glucose in the control group after resuscitation. Control n = 4. NE group n = 8; loq lower quartile, upq upper quartile
