Figure 4

Expressions of (A) lung inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) and (B) spleen-cleaved caspase 3. Depicted are the expressions of lung iNOS and spleen-cleaved caspase 3 at the end of the study in different groups of sham operation (SOP, n = 3), SOP plus Levosimendan administration (SOP + LS, n = 3), cecal ligation and puncture (CLP, n = 5), CLP plus vehicle treatment (CLP + Veh, n = 5) and CLP plus Levosimendan administration (CLP + LS, n = 5). 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.
