Figure 1From: DHEA-dependent and organ-specific regulation of TNF-α mRNA expression in a murine polymicrobial sepsis and trauma modelActivity score. The activity score ranges from 1 to 6, with 1 being lethargic and 6 being very active. * P ≤ 0.05 (comparison of CLP-vehicle and CLP-DHEA). The data are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. Black square = CLP-vehicle; white square = CLP-DHEA; black triangle = Sham-vehicle; white triangle = Sham-DHEA. CLP = cecal ligation and puncture; DHEA = dehydroepiandrosterone.Back to article page
