Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 effects on syndecan-1, heparanase, hyaluronic acid plasma levels, and hyaluronidase activity during systemic inflammation. Wild-type mice underwent a sham or cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) operation (n = 8). Sixty minutes after the procedure, mice received 20 ml/kg Isolyte® (Iso) or HES 130/0.4 (HES) as an infusion over 1 h. The plasma levels of (a) syndecan-1, (b) heparanase, and (c) hyaluronic acid were analyzed 4, 8, and 24 h after the operation. d Serum hyaluronidase enzyme activity was analyzed 24 h after the CLP procedure and normalized to the CLP Iso group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, * p < 0.05
