Plasma D (-)-lactate as a new marker for diagnosis of acute intestinal injury following ischemia-reperfusion

Figure 1 Kinetics of plasma D (-)-lactate alteration in portal and systemic circulation systems. Six to nine animals were assessed for each time point. Data are expressed as x ± s_x-. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 vs baseline values.

Figure 2 Correlation between the macropathological evaluation scores of intestine and the portal D (-)-lactate levels in animals subjected to intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Figure 3 Changes in plasma endotoxin concentration in portal vein following acute intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Six to nine animals were assessed for each time point. Data are expressed as x ± s_x-. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 vs baseline values.
