Figure 3. Hepatic microcirculation after “late” levosimendan pretreatment.

Figure 3

In the “late” control group (CL) a reduction of blood flow was observed in comparison to sham-operated animals (S), but the difference was not significant. However, there was a significant decline of the flux in groups subjected to IR (IRL; LL). Levosimendan pretreatment (LL) caused significant improvement in the microcirculation of the liver compared with the IRL group. Values are expressed as means. * p<0.05 versus IRL group. n = 5 in sham-operated (S) and control group (CL); n = 10 in IR (IRL) and levosimendan pretreated group (LL).
