Fig. 3. Transudate formation in early reperfusion (phase IV, groups NaCl, HES 6%, albumin 5%, and albumin 2.5%; n = 5 each; mean ± SEM). The dashed lines symbolize the time between the end of stopped flow ischemia (no perfusion, no transudate formation) and the first reliable measuring point at minute 2. It does not correspond to measured values of transudate formation. * P < 0.05 versus NaCl group. # P < 0.05 versus HES 6% group. HES = hydroxyethyl starch.
