¹H NMR signals intensities of lactate and cholesterol in plasmas.

<p><b>(A)</b> Contribution of a ¹H NMR characteristic signal of lactate at 1.36 ppm to the spectrum of aqueous fraction of the plasma extract (Aq spectrum). <b>(B)</b> Contribution of a ¹H NMR characteristic signal of cholesterol at 0.68 ppm to the spectrum of lipid fraction of the plasma extract (Org spectrum). Values are expressed as arbitrary unit (AU). Lines at the middle for medians, boxes extend from 25^th to 75^th percentile, error bars for max and min values. Boxes: white, plasma from patients with favorable outcome; grey plasma from patients with 30-day mortality outcome. <b>*</b> is for Student’s <i>t</i> test p <0.05.
