FIGURE 2.
Die-P mice had higher levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators both locally (in the peritoneal cavity) and systemically (in plasma). Average z-scores for all the pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators measured for each mouse were calculated as described in the statistical analysis section of Materials and Methods. For A and B, at 6 h n = 9 for Live-P and 11 for Die-P, and at 24 h n = 29 for Live-P and 14 for Die-P. For C and D, at 6 h n = 9 for Live-P and 11 for Die-P, and at 24 h n = 24 for Live-P and 13 for Die-P. Results are shown as mean ± SEM. p < 0.05 when compared with Live-P at 6 h (a); Die-P at 6 h (b); Live-P at 24 h (c).
