Effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on the cardiac dysfunction in β-common receptor knockout (βcR KO) mice that underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Representative M-mode echocardiograms (A), and percentage ejection fraction (B), fractional shortening (C) and fractional area of change (D) 24 hours subsequent to CLP surgery. At 1 hour after induction of CLP, mice were treated either with EPO (1000 IU/kg s.c.) or vehicle (10 ml/kg 0.9% saline s.c.). (B–D) Sham + vehicle (n=5); sham + EPO (n=2); CLP + vehicle (n=7); CLP + EPO (n=7). Data are expressed as means ± s.e.m. for n number of observations. P<0.05 versus CLP + vehicle.
