Sepsis-induced reductions in myosin heavy chain levels (MHC); assays were performed on samples from n = 5 animals/group. A: representative blot with the total protein gel which was used for normalization for densitometry. B: mean data for all experimental groups. As shown, administration of MitoTEMPOL prevented cecal ligation puncture (CLP)-induced reductions in MHC. Data are plotted with boxes representing 1 SE; the dark line in the box indicates the mean, and whiskers indicate the minimum and maximum values. *Statistical significance.
