Exploratory laparotomy had no significant effect on blood gas or blood glucose in aged rats and was not influenced by rapamycin pretreatment. (A) There was no difference in the PH value of the four groups. (B) There was no difference in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide between the four groups. (C) There was no difference in oxygen partial pressure between the four groups. (D) There was no difference in blood oxygen saturation between the four groups. (E) There was no difference in blood glucose between four groups. PaCO₂, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood; PaO₂, partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood; SaO₂, arterial oxygen saturation; Hb, hemoglobin; Glucose, blood glucose. Values represent the mean ± SEM (n = 5/group). RAP: rapamycin.
