Figure 5. Endotoxin Dramatically Induces Plasma Resistin in Humans.

Figure 5

(A) Plasma resistin and sTNFR2 levels were measured serially in six healthy volunteers for 24 h before and after intravenous LPS (3 ng/kg) administration. The repeated measures ANOVA F statistics for the effect of LPS on plasma resistin (9.25, p < 0.001) and sTNFR2 (23.65, p < 0.001) were highly significant.

(B) Mean resistin RNA expression in whole blood cells of healthy volunteers (n = 2) before and after treatment with LPS (3 ng/kg).
