5-HT Drives Mortality in Sepsis Induced by Cecal Ligation and Puncture in Mice

Figure 3

Lack of 5-HT alleviates peritonitis in CLP-induced sepsis in mice. The peritoneum tissue were harvested at 6 h or 24 h after CLP administration. The visceral peritoneum tissue sections were stained with H&E. Original magnification 200x. Figures are representative of at least three experiments performed on different experimental days. The amount of exudate was calculated for assessment of acute peritonitis (, amount of exudate: mean ± SD, versus the WT-CLP group at 6 h after the CLP administration).
