Fig. 2.
Renal cortical microcirculatory Po2 during the experiment. For the sake of clarity, only significant differences were shown at the end of the experiment. Repeated measures two-way ANOVA test was used with Bonferroni correction to adjust for multiple comparisons. *Adjusted P < 0.005 versus control group. #Adjusted P < 0.05 compared with 6% balanced hydroxyethyl starch at the same time point. The data are presented as means ± SD (n = 8 for PEG-carboxyhemoglobin group and n = 6/group for other groups). HES-RA, 6% hydroxyethyl starch balanced in ringer acetate; PEGylated, polyethylene glycolated.
