Concentration of TNFα in cell culture supernatants in trauma patients treated with and without glutamine. TLR functionality. Levels of TNFα analyzed by a bead array ELISA (CBA Kit, BD Biosciences), in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS-100 ng/mL), Pam3CSK4 (PAM-10 pg/mL) and zymosan (ZYM-10 pg/mL) at the beginning of the treatment (Figure 3A); at Day 6 (Figure 3B) and at Day 14 (Figure 3C). Monocytes from trauma patients treated with glutamine subjects (black bars, n = 23) and trauma patients without glutamine (white bars, n = 20). Control bars are samples production of cytokines by unstimulated monocytes. Data are given as mean ± SEM.
