  1. Survivors defined as rats alive until 72 h after CLP, non-survivors defined as rats dead between 24 and 72 h after CLP
  2. IL interleukin, TNF-α Tumor necrosis factor alfa, CLP cecal ligation and puncture
  3. Values denote medians with IQR. Comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test
  4. *p= 0.04 comparing parameter in survivors vs. non-survivors. No other significant differences (p < 0.05) were found
