Expression of inflammatory molecules in the presence of systemic infection in Alzheimer’s disease using quantitative real-time PCR. The levels of indicated transcripts are normalised to GAPDH, and the mRNA Alzheimer’s disease without systemic infection (AD-) levels are arbitrary set as 1. The bar graph shows the fold difference in mRNA of inflammatory markers and indicates significant increased anti-inflammatory gene transcripts CHI3L1 (p = 0.012) and IL4R (p = 0.04) in Alzheimer’s disease with (AD+) compared to without systemic infection (AD-)
