Determinants of Inline graphic before and after injection of LPS (500 μg kg−1 i.v.) in rats exposed to an ambient temperature (22°C) that allows the development of hypothermia

Time CHb (g dl−1) Inline graphic (%) Inline graphic (Torr) Inline graphic (%)
Baseline 12.0 ± 1.2 95 ± 1 75 ± 4 16 ± 1
20 min post-LPS 12.1 ± 1.2 97 ± 0* 90 ± 2* 16 ± 2
60 min post-LPS 11.5 ± 1.3 97 ± 0* 86 ± 2* 15 ± 2

Results are means ± S.E.M. (n = 6). Abbreviations: Inline graphic, arterial oxygen content; CHb, haemoglobin concentration; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; Inline graphic, arterial partial pressure of oxygen; Inline graphic, arterial haemoglobin-O2 saturation.
