Lbp in endotoxemic (LPS 5 mg/kg, IP; 1 and 5 hours) male and female mice. Data expressed as mean ± SEM (N = 5–7 per sex per exposure). Results of 2way ANOVA for interaction, sex and time provided. Results of multiple comparisons given, with *p<.05 vs. unexposed sex- matched control. †p<.05 vs. time-matched similarly exposed male. (G) Representative Western blot of CRP on whole liver lysate isolated from endotoxemic (LPS 5 mg/kg, IP; 1 and 5 hours) male and female mice. Total protein stain as loading control. (H) Densitometric analysis of whole liver lysate CRP. Data normalized to total protein and expressed as mean ± SEM (N = 4–6 per sex per exposure). *p < 0.05 vs. unexposed control. h = hours.
