Figure 5From: Platelet-derived exosomes from septic shock patients induce myocardial dysfunctionEffect of exosomes in isolated rat papillary muscle preparations. Effect of exosomes on developed tension (a) and its positive derivative (+dT/dt) (b) in isolated rat papillary muscle preparations. Data are mean ± standard error of the mean of eight experiments for papillary muscles before and after incubation with exosomes derived from septic patients (septic pre and post) and four experiments for papillary muscles before and after incubation with exosomes derived from healthy individuals (healthy pre and post). *p < 0.05 versus septic pre (paired t test).Back to article page
