Comparison of Malated Ringer’s with Two Other Balanced Crystalloid Solutions in Resuscitation of Both Severe and Moderate Hemorrhagic Shock in Rats

Figure 5

Effects of lactated, acetated, and malated Ringer’s on plasma enzyme activities in severely/moderately shocked rats. Rats underwent severe and moderate hemorrhage (shock induction: dark grey; shock phase: light grey) and then were resuscitated (dark grey) with either lactated Ringer’s (LR), acetated Ringer’s (AR), or malated Ringer’s solution (MR) and observed for further 150 min or until the first animal of the respective group died. GOT activity (a), GPT activity (b), LDH activity (c), and CK activity (d). Values are means ± SEM ( animals per shock group); SEM values not visible are hidden by the symbols.
