Organ-Specific Changes in High-Energy Phosphates After Hemorrhagic Shock and Resuscitation in the Rat

Abstract

After hemorrhage and resuscitation, EC decreased in lung, liver, kidney, and intestine, but the time course, extent of decline, and ability to recover after resuscitation varied from organ to organ. Inability to regenerate high-energy phosphates after hemorrhagic shock may be a marker for more severe cellular damage.
