Fig. 8. Reduced tissue damage and organ inflammation in sepsis survivor.
a–c Critical cytokine expression levels in the intestine. d–f HMGB-1 expression levels in the plasma, liver, and intestine as a DAMP indicator for tissue damage. g–i The expression levels of NF-κB and its activation via phosphorylation of IκB-α in the liver as an indicator of remote organ inflammation (n = 3, mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was measured by unpaired one-sided Student’s test). Source data are available in the Source Data file.
