Systolic arterial blood pressure (sABP) and required resuscitation volume. a sABP as an indicator of hemodynamics (reproduced with modification with the permission of the American Physiological Society [9]). b Total volume of additional bolus injection of the Ringer’s lactate solution to maintain blood pressure. BL: baseline value taken just before the interruption of hepatic inflow. Reperfusion was started at time 0. Mean ± standard error of the mean. NS: hepatic ischemia–reperfusion and saline infusion. AD: hepatic ischemia–reperfusion and adrenaline infusion. *P < 0.05 vs. NS group
