Figure 1. Effects of LPS on NOP and PNoc mRNA expression.

Figure 1

Whole blood was cultured without LPS or with increasing concentrations of LPS 0.5ā€“104 pg/ml for 6 hrs. LPS suppressed both NOP and PNoc mRNA expression. Data are presented as medians with interquartile ranges. nā€Š=ā€Š4, Kruskal-Wallis test with subsequent post hoc analysis, *: p<0.05. LPS, lipopolysaccharide; NOP, nociceptin receptor; PNoc, nociceptin precursor.
