Pyruvate-fortified resuscitation stabilizes cardiac electrical activity and energy metabolism during hypovolemia

Figure 3 Myocardial pyruvate (A), lactate (B) and citrate (C) contents. Values (mean ± SD) are from left ventricular myocardium biopsied at 90 resuscitation (n = 6 per group) or at 3.5 h post resuscitation [8 time control (TC), 9 lactate Ringer’s (LR), and 10 pyruvate Ringer’s (PR)]. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs TC; ^cP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01 vs LR.
