The effects of PLTP on inflammatory cytokines in lethal endotoxemia.
Before and 24 hours after LPS injection,(WT, 6 mg/Kg, N = 10; PLTP-Tg, 6 mg/Kg, N = 10; PLTP−/−, 5 mg/Kg, N = 10). The plasma were isolated for cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ and IL-1β, respectively) determination by ELISA. Data were expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 4). *P < 0.05; NS, no significance.
