Histological examination (a) hematoxylin and eosin staining in major organs. Representative photographs are shown (original magnification ×20). (b) Histology injury scores of major organs. Pathology scores were evaluated as previously described in Materials and Methods. Lac: blood lactate; L group: group with Lac lower than 1.64 mmol/L at 24 hours after CLP (n = 3); M group: group with Lac equal to or more than 1.64 mmol/L at 24 hours after CLP (n = 3). † p < 0.01 versus L group.
