Figure 2. Plasma mitigates inflammation in wild type but not syndecan-1 null mice.

Wild-type and syndecan-1 null mice underwent laparotomy and hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation with either lactated Ringers or fresh frozen plasma. After three hours small bowel was harvested for assessment of inflammation by quantifying neutrophilic infiltration. Data are expressed as mean±SEM, n=8/group with significance indicated by lines over the respective groups.
