Noninvasive Multimodal Imaging to Predict Recovery of Locomotion after Extended Limb Ischemia

Comparison of blood chemistries in sham and experimental ischemia animals.
Comparison of blood chemistries (A-E) for sham animals (black circles) and experimental, or ischemic, animals (white squares). The dashed window indicates the region of maximum ischemia and reperfusion, while the gray window highlights post-operative time points. All time points are plotted as minutes; 1440 min = D1, 4320 min = D3, and 10,080 min = D7. All blood chemistries have been normalized to blood urea with the exception of CO2, which prevents erroneous data trends due to dehydration. A) BUN = blood urea nitrogen; B) LDH = lactate dehydrogenase; U = urea; C) ALT = alanine aminotransferase; D) AST = aspartate aminotransferase; E) CK = creatinine kinase; F) CO2 = carbon dioxide = bicarbonate.
