From: Induction of Bim and Bid gene expression during accelerated apoptosis in severe sepsis
mRNA expression of Bcl-2 family members. mRNA expression was measured by real-time PCR in patients with severe sepsis, critically ill patients and healthy controls. (a) The expression of BH3-only members Bim and Bid was upregulated, (b) the pro death-group Bak and Bax was regulated heterogeneously and (c) the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl were downregulated. *p < 0.05, *p < 0.001
