Figure 1

TLR4 / TLR2 polymorphisms and time course of perioperative serum concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (a) and cortisol (b). Sampling times: A: preoperative, B: postoperative at day of surgery, C: postoperative Day 1. TLR2 SNP, toll-like receptor2 single-nucleotide polymorphism carrier; TLR4 SNP, toll-like receptor4 single-nucleotide polymorphism carrier. Number of patients in each group: non-carrier = 274, TLR4 SNP = 51, TLR2 SNP = 13. Values are shown as mean and 95% confidence intervals. *P < 0.05 compared to A; †P < 0.05 compared to B; ‡P < 0.05 compared to non-carrier.
