Fig. 7. Time course and dose dependent effects of CORT administration on plasma IL-12 levels.

Fig. 7

CORT reduced plasma IL-12 levels in a dose-dependent manner, with a greater effect in males than in females. Five hrs following CORT administration IL-12 levels were significantly reduced both in females and males, as opposed to 10 hrs following its administration, in which IL-12 levels remained low only in males. Twenty nine hours following CORT administration the reduction in IL-12 levels completely dissipated in both sexes. * indicates a significant reduction compared to control. # indicates a significant difference between sexes. Data are presented as mean + SEM.
