  1. aSham group: arteriovenous circuit inserted but no hemofiltration. bUltrafiltrate replaced with lactated Ringer's solution. cUltrafiltrate reinfused into the animal. *P < 0.05 in comparison with baseline (0 h). #P < 0.05 in comparison with group 1. SEM, standard error of the mean; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
