Figure 2From: Erythropoietin improves skeletal muscle microcirculation and tissue bioenergetics in a mouse sepsis modelMean NADH fluorescence unit measurements in sham and cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) mice. The sham and CLP groups consisted of seven and eight mice, respectively. Erythropoietin (EPO) 400 U/kg was administered to the CLP group after baseline measurement (time 0) was obtained. *p < 0.05 versus sham at baseline time 0. #p < 0.05 versus CLP at baseline time 0. Values are presented as mean ± standard error. NADH, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; sc, subcutaneous.Back to article page
