Survival after LPS injection. (A) Survival was monitored during 10 days on WT (n = 13) and CETPTg (n = 12) mice iv injected with purified LPS from E. coli O55:B5 (15 mg/kg BW). Data are percent survival measured at 12 h intervals. WT versus CETPTg; Kaplan-Meier method and log Rank test. ∗P < 0.05; Chi-squared test. (B) Relationship between days of survival and plasma total lipids (determined as the sum of plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids) in a subset of WT (n = 7) and CETPTg mice (n = 9) was analyzed with Spearman correlation test.
