Role of Vascular Endothelial Cells in Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Induced by Seawater Immersion in a Rat Trauma Model

Figure 2

Relationships between functional VEC genes and coagulation cascades. (a) Roles of the functional VEC genes in the coagulation cascades. (b) Compared with the control group, the expression levels of 11 of 13 VEC genes in coagulation cascades in the SW group were increased by more than 2-fold, and 8 of 13 genes changed by more than 6-fold according to the Rat VEC Biology PCR Array. (c) Serum levels of coagulation-related factors in the test rats were assessed with a double-antibody sandwich ELISA. ; .
