Concentration of IL1β in cell culture supernatants in trauma patients treated with and without glutamine. TLR functionality. Levels of IL1β 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 4A); at Day 6 (Figure 4B) and at Day 14 (Figure 4C). 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.
