(a) LPS concentrations in the hepatic and portal venous plasma. Significantly higher endotoxaemia is observed in portal venous compared to hepatic venous plasma (****p < 0.0001) (b) Trans-Intestinal and trans-hepatic fractional extraction (FE) of LPS. Positive trans-intestinal LPS FE was observed consistent with gut-derived endotoxaemia. Negative trans-hepatic LPS FE was observed consistent with hepatic LPS clearance.
