From: Platelet mitochondrial membrane depolarization reflects disease severity in patients with sepsis and correlates with clinical outcome

Figure 1

Correlation of platelet mitochondrial membrane potential with APACHE II, SOFA, and SAPS II scores. Dot-blot correlation of the individual mean platelet Mmp-Index of each patient calculated from triplicate JC-1 FL2 to FL1 fluorescence ratios by flow cytometry and the clinical disease-severity scores APACHE II (A), SOFA (B), and SAPS II score (C) in 26 patients with sepsis. Lower Mmp-Index values indicate a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, whereas higher clinical disease scores indicate more-severe illness. r = statistical correlation coefficient; P ≤ 0.05 denotes statistically significant correlation of values.
