Figure 1. Experimental design and serum albumin.

Figure 1

(A) Experimental Design. Brain death was induced by inflation of a 14F Foley catheter through a burr hole in the skull. Sham animals received only an incision in the scalp. Both groups were maintained on a ventilator under ICU conditions. (B) Serum albumin decreased significantly in both sham (n=5) and BD (n=7) over 20 hours. No significant differences were detected between groups. Data presented as average value, +SEM. Time-point values within each group were compared by 1-way repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferonni correction. Differences between groups at each time-point were compared by unpaired T-test. *p<0.05, ***p<0.0001.
