Figure 1

Progress of plasma (A) alanine aminotransferase (ALT), (B) aspartate aminotransferase (AST), (C) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), (D) blood urea nitrogen (BUN), (E) creatinine, and (F) blood glucose during the experimental period. Depicted are the changes in plasma biochemical parameters in different groups of sham operation (SOP, n = 10), SOP plus levosimendan administration (SOP + LS, n = 6), cecal ligation and puncture (CLP, n = 10), CLP plus vehicle treatment (CLP + Veh, n = 6) and CLP plus levosimendan administration (CLP + LS, n = 12). Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. *P <0.05, all groups versus SOP. †P <0.05, CLP + LS versus CLP + Veh.
