Time course of body core temperature in swine undergoing (a) 90 minutes intra-aortic balloon occlusion-induced kidney ischemia/reperfusion-injury (data are adapted from [29]: Dark blue squares, vehicle n = 10; blue circles, Na 2 S n = 9; all data are mean ± SD, § designates p < 0.05 between groups); (b) hemorrhage and resuscitation (data are adapted from [30]: black squares, vehicle n = 14; dark blue squares, Na 2 S started two hours before hemorrhage, n = 10; light blue squares, Na 2 S started simultaneously with hemorrhage, n = 11; blue triangles, Na 2 S started immediately after hemorrhage, n = 10; all data are mean ± SD, § designates p < 0.05 'simultaneous' treatment vs. vehicle). Note that in both experimental series at least four hours of drug infusion were necessary to achieve a significant decrease in body temperature.
