Figure 2From: Effects of dopexamine on the intestinal microvascular blood flow and leucocyte activation in a sepsis model in ratsFunctional capillary density. Shown is functional capillary density (FCD) in the longitudinal and circular muscularis layers; measurements were taken at two hours after the start of endotoxaemia. CON, control group; DPX, DPX group (endotoxin plus dopexamine); LPS, LPS group (endotoxin infusion only). *P < 0.05 versus CON; †P < 0.05 versus LPS; ‡P < 0.05 versus DPX.Back to article page
