Figure 4From: Compartmentalization of lipid peroxidation in sepsis by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria: experimental and clinical evidenceOxidative burst of circulating neutrophils. Experimental sepsis was induced in rats after the intraperitoneal injection of one multidrug-resistant isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Five hours after challenge (n = 6 per time), rats were killed, and oxidative burst on neutrophils was measured as the expression of dihydrorhodamine (DHR) on cell membranes after flow-cytometric analysis. P value compared with sham-operated rats is shown.Back to article page
