a Variation of plasma mtDNA during the cardiac surgery with CPB and the correlation between peak activation level of platelets and peak plasma mtDNA level. Plasma mtDNA level increased significantly and peaked at T3, which decreased slowly from T3 to T6 (P < 0.05). b Bivariate correlation study showed a positive correlation between peak activation level of platelets and peak plasma mtDNA level (r = 0.683, P < 0.0001). *P < 0.05 vs. T1. Units of y axis: copies per microliter (copies/μL)
