Ethyl pyruvate protects against experimental acute-on-chronic liver failure in rats

Figure 4 Effect of ethyl pyruvate on survival in rat acute-on-chronic liver failure model. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the median survival time of the model group was 60 h, and the median survival time in ethyl pyruvate treatment group was 162 h, 120 h, 102 h and 78 h, respectively, after treatment at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h. By log-rank test, ^bP < 0.01 vs model; ^dP < 0.01 vs 3 h.
