Histopathology of myocardial tissue from mice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) sepsis. The sham-operated mice (sham and SH+VP) showed no changes (a, b). The SSI group (c) had evident disorientation of the myofibrils with the formation of contracture bands (red arrows) and myocytolysis (black arrows) as compared to the SSI+VP group (d), 24 hours after surgery. Scale bars indicate 50 μm.
