Fig. 1From: Commonly disrupted pathways in brain and kidney in a pig model of systemic endotoxemiaPigs that received lipopolysaccharide (LPS) show increased heart rate, body temperature, and vascular congestion. a Baseline heart rate was not different between pigs assigned to control (saline) vs. LPS groups, but at the final clinical readings before killing, pigs that received LPS showed an increased heart rate p = 0.002. The same holds true for b body temperature, p = 0.038. Histological analysis of c control saline brain, d LPS brain, e control saline kidney, and f LPS kidney reveals significant edema and vascular congestion in the LPS tissues compared to saline controlsBack to article page
