Table 2. Comparison of complement components in the brain cortex at 24 hours after ROSC between the NT and HT groups.

	C1q (pg/mg)	Bb (ng/mg)	MBL (μg/mg)	C3b (μg/mg)	C3a (ng/mg)	C5a (ng/mg)
NT	1.44±0.41	10.83±1.58	1.01±0.09	1.03±0.09	40.30±9.45	12.60±0.77
HT	0.97±0.15*	9.78±1.17	0.72±0.15*	0.84±0.12*	37.57±6.61	10.23±1.45*

Abbreviations: HT, mild hypothermia; MBL, mannose-binding lectin; NT, normothermia; ROSC, restoration of spontaneous circulation.

The concentrations of complement components are expressed in pg/mg (C1q), μg/mg (MBL and C3b), and ng/mg (Bb, C3a and C5a) of total protein content.

*P<0.05 versus brain content in the NT group.
