Minocycline Decreases Liver Injury after Hemorrhagic Shock and Resuscitation in Mice

Figure 3

Minocycline and tetracycline decrease apoptosis after hemorrhage and resuscitation. H/R was performed, as described in Figure 1. Apoptosis of parenchymal cells was assessed by TUNEL in nonnecrotic areas at 6 h after sham operation or resuscitation with vehicle, minocycline, or tetracycline. The average number of TUNEL positive cells is plotted for each treatment group. TUNEL for sham was virtually zero and is not plotted. Bar is 50 μm. * versus vehicle.
