Blood parameters and cytokine release in LPS- and HpX-treated rats. A total of 18 adult male rats were randomly allocated to 3 groups with n = 6 per group. Control group was injected with 0.9% NaCl, LPS group received an injection of LPS (20 mg/kg body weight in 0.9% NaCl), HpX group was subjected to partial HpX. Blood was sampled 4 h after LPS and placebo injection, and 2 h after HpX. a Blood parameters were recorded at the end of the experimental period. LPS lipopolysaccharide, HpX partial hepatectomy, BE base excess, Hct hematocrit, Hb hemoglobin, n.s. not significant. *Significant effect (p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with following post hoc Tukey test) between LPS or HpX versus control. b Inflammatory cytokines in the rats’ serum (obtained from the blood) at the end of the experimental period. Results are means of each group. #Below detection limit of the assay. Error bars indicate S.D. ***p < 0.001. In the case that values were below detection limit of the assay, no statistical analysis could be performed
