Abstract:Objective
The Murine Sepsis Score (MSS) is used to assess the severity of sepsis in rats and mice based on observational characteristics. The quantitative variables of blood glucose, body weight and temperature are predictors of severity in experimental models of sepsis. Therefore, our study sought to adapt the MSS with the same variables to indicate earlier the severity of the disease in murine models of the disease.
Results
Sepsis mice presented hypoglycemia, weight loss, and hypothermia. Therefore, these … Show more
