Impact of increasing doses of 3HB-Na on muscle force and wasting in septic mice. A, Ex vivo EDL muscle force measurements presented as specific force (peak tetanic tension per unit muscle mass). White, healthy (n = 13); dashes, PN + glc (n = 12); PN + 3HB-Na: black, 150 mg/d (n = 13); light gray, 180 mg/d (n = 12); gray, 225/300 mg/d (n = 8). B, EDL muscle dry weight. White, healthy (n = 13); dashes, PN + glc (n = 15); PN + 3HB-Na: black, 150 mg/d (n = 16); light gray, 180 mg/d (n = 12); gray, 225/300 mg/d (n = 8). A, B Data are shown as median and interquartile range. glc: glucose, PN: parenteral nutrition, mg/d: mg per day
