Effects of anti-IL-16 nAb on cardiac injury and function in septic mice. (a) Survival rates during the 8-day follow-up in each group (log-rank test). (b–d) Serum levels of oxidative stress markers in the four groups (two-way ANOVA). (e–h) Cardiac structure and function were determined by echocardiography (nonparametric test). n = 5-10 in each group. ∗p < 0.05 vs. the IgG saline group. #p < 0.05 vs. the IgG LPS group. nAb: anti-IL-16 neutralizing antibody; LPS: lipopolysaccharide; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; CK-MB: creatine kinase myocardial bound; cTnT: cardiac troponin T; LVEDD: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVESD: left ventricular end-systolic diameter; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; FS: fractional shortening.
