Figure 2

Western blot analysis of glucocorticoid receptor α and β isoforms of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from septic patients on first and third day in the intensive care unit. The GRα and GRβ cell expressions were evaluated by western blotting in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from septic patients on the first and third day in ICU. The quantification of the western blot analysis of (A) GRα and (B) GRβ are shown. The values were normalized to β actin expression and are expressed as percentage values of the GR expression on the first day in ICU. Data are presented as median value, 25% to 75% (box) and minimum-maximum (vertical line). ns = not statistically significant. (C) Representative western blot analysis of GC receptors αβ and β actin are shown. GR, glucocorticoid receptor; ICU, intensive care unit.
