Figure 4. Increases in erythrocyte sedimentation rate and liver function markers after inhalation of F. tularensis.
Blood samples collected pre- and post-exposure were analyzed for changes in ESR (A), cholesterol level (B), and ALT (C). Graphs show values for individual rabbits (gray circles) and averaged data (black bars) for each time point after exposure when blood was drawn (days −2, 2, 4, 6, and at euthanasia).
