Average plasma concentrations at baseline, during shock and resuscitation (n = 5 per time period).

a

p<0.05 vs. baseline;

b

p<0.05 vs. shock. The average plasma concentration for each animal was calculated as the mean of two, eight and three plasma levels that were determined at baseline, during shock and resuscitation, respectively.
