Analyses of TNF-α. (A) TNF-α release ex vivo following LPS stimulation divided by systemic WBC at same timepoint. (B) TNF-α release ex vivo following LPS stimulation without adjustment for WBC. (C) Systemic TNF-α in circulation (serum) expressed as normalized units (NPX) on a log scale. * P-values ≤0.05 Tukey´s multiple comparison test, not all significant differences between timepoints are outlined. LPS, lipopolysaccharide; WBC, white blood cell count; NPX, normalized protein units.
