Evaluated blood NET ratio and blood P-SEP production in CLP-treated sepsis model mice. (a) Gross cecum findings for the sham group and CLP-treated sepsis model mice. As indicated by arrows, the ceca of CLP-treated mice were necrotic. (b, c) Comparison of viable bacteria calculated from colony counts. Each dot represents one mouse. (d, e) Blood NET ratio and P-SEP levels were evaluated in CLP-treated sepsis model mice. Each dot represents one mouse. All differences denoted by asterisks were subjected to two-tailed Student’s t-tests. Values are presented as mean ± SD (n = 5). **p < 0.01. P-SEP, presepsin; NET, neutrophil extracellular trap; M1 MΦs, M1 macrophage.
