F344 rats exposed to 103 CFUs SCHU S4 exhibited alterations in the basic metabolic panel after exposure. Sodium (A), chloride (B), potassium (C), bicarbonate (D), blood urea nitrogen (E), creatinine (F), phosphorus (G), and glucose (H). Each symbol represents the value from an individual rat on the designated day of euthanasia (x axis) after exposure. In some instances, there was insufficient serum available to perform all assays. The values for unexposed control (naïve) rats are also shown for comparison. ME, moribund euthanasia.
