Figure 2From: Impairment of exogenous lactate clearance in experimental hyperdynamic septic shock is not related to total liver hypoperfusionEvolution of total hepatic blood flow. (A), sorbitol (B) and lactate clearances (C) at different time points in sham versus LPS animals. As shown, no differences were detected in flow or sorbitol clearances, but there was a highly significant decrease in lactate clearance in LPS animals at points B and D. Bars represent median (interquartile range). *P <0.05, comparison made with Mann–Whitney U test. LPS, lipopolysaccharide.Back to article page
